Carrying Bag
Text
Shoulder bag.<br /><br />Rectangular bag, woven in geometric design reminiscent of ikat, with vegetable fiber (sisal or sinnet) plaited cord attached along bottom edge and at top of either side to form straps. The upper half of the front panel is covered with brown cloth, over which is a criss-cross design of red ribbon strips. In the interstices of this criss-cross are red and yellow chain embroidery and tiny metal and/or shell sequins. The red ribbon strips are beaded with white pony beads. These same beads are also embroidered along the sides of the bag. There are several groups of bead dangles with floss tassels hanging from the sides and the bottom of the decorative panel. There are additional bead appliques on the surface under the panel.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
