content: A small, knotted shigra style bag, likely made in Ecuador. The bag is made of cabuya cactus fiber and is designed with alternating bands of green, beige, and orange, each bordered in dark blue. Running up the length of the bag at regular intervals are colored zig-zag stripes in green, yellow, pink, and red as well as several incomplete stripes. At the top of the bag a braided, multi-colored strap has been attached. The fiber of the bag is stiff and somewhat inflexible.
