This bag is made from traditional Tibetan woven cloth and is embellished with fancy gold brocades and red or silver piping.  Two white cowrie shells dangle from the sides.  The Tibetan script for “Bod”, the Tibetan name for the country of Tibet, is the central decoration.  Rainbow tassles hang from the bottom of the bag.  A strong yellow strap is attached and the closure is made of velcro.  This bag is useful as a small purse or passport bag.
