GEMB01B

While t.here is no drawstring on t.he bag currently, a careful exami.nat.ion of t.he t.op of t.he bag shows a series of smali holes in t.he clot.h band t.hat. covers t.he edge of t.he opening (see below left.). This suggests t.hat. t.here was such a drawstring originally. Allowing for t.he fact. t.hat. t.he t.op of t.he bag is now twisted slightly t.o t.he left., I have reconst.ruct.ed t.he original drawstring (see below right).

Holes for missing drawstring A reconstruction of the drawstring.

The opening of the bag is finished by a cloth strip, probably a woven ribbon, tacked down with a running st.it.ch.

Notę that. the tassles are not. attached to the bag, but. are part. of the bag, the threads of the tassle are woven through the fabric of the bag. The center tassle hangs straight. down while the two end ones angle out. (see below).

<-3 3/8 inches->

The bag appears to be madę from one piece of fabric, folded along one side (the left. side in the picture) and st.it.ched closed along the bottom and the remaining side. As the bag is twisted slightly left. along the top, it. is possible to see part. of one of the seams on the right. side.

NOTES:

1. This is a companion file to GEMB01.GIF (the embroidery pattern), and GMBAG2.GIF (a color scan of a photograph of the embroidered bag.

2. For another example of an embroidered bag from this period, see the files GEMB11.GIF and GEMB11B.GIF.

3. As the bag was displayed in a glass frame, I was only able to examine one side of it., and I was not. able to examine the lining, if any.
