Fiziksel açıklama
Woven silk with metal thread, edged with cut silk velvet and woven silk and metal thread braid and with cotton tape, lined with plain weave cotton and backed with roller-printed cotton. The front of the bag is woven silk with a stellar repeating pattern in pink, blue, orange and brown on a ground woven with metal thread. The top is edged with dark green velvet trimmed with a woven silk and metal thread braid. It is edged and faced with brown cotton bias-cut tape. There is an outer border of black cord and metal thread which connects it with the dark green plain weave cotton lining. The back of the bag is made from plain weave cotton printed with a polychrome stripe pattern similar to these used on Kashmir shawls. There are two light green silk braided loops, one on either side of the bag's opening.
