Twined Bag - (Bags)
product ID
Open twined bag done with hemp cordage. Approx. 9" wide by 8 1/2 " deep. Fabric and bags done by this method were very common. The weave techniques and patterns are known by the impressions left on pottery shards from as early as 1000 A.D. and continuing into the 20th century. Some bags were done with figures woven in and some were "plainer". Used for storage of all kinds and for washing and hulling corn the bags are tough and versatile coming in a range of sizes from 3 or 4 inches up to several feet. This bag was woven from bottom to top as the warps hang from a stick, essentially woven "upside down" as were all the bags I have seen in collections. SOLD
