Commentaires : A Masai bag of 'olbene' type, but probably a copy for tourists. Should be much larger and these types of bags are never decorated with thread but with beads. The colour combinations of the few beads used here are of Masai style.
Fonctions : Used by women over shoulder or around neck in front, to keep personal possessions such as amulets, trinkets, needles and papers. Made and used by women to go to the market.
