A crochet rayon bag with a rounded bottom features intricate off-white patterns against a terracotta ground. A central band depicts two camels walking right, bordered by scattered white dashes. Near the base, a row of white pointed arches contains geometric shapes. Two braided drawstrings loop through the gathered top, ending in crocheted balls of terracotta and white. The fine-looped construction defines the vessel's surface and stylized desert motifs.
