A classic black cotton bag, a representation of the Kachin Tribe's craftsmanship, is an example of their textile and embroidery skills. The bag has the job's tears, small beads used in tribal adornments, along with Swastik symbols and embroidered zigzag designs. The multicolored threads bring further glamor to the bag, making it more of a piece of art than a functional item. On the backside, the handle, and other parts of the bag are geometric designs once again made colorful with threads that create a stunning contrast. The bag comes alive with the added movement and texture coinciding with the fringes at the lower ends, enhancing its appeal while bestowing a traditional rustic look.
Kachin people used this bag to show how decorative elements can be among one-often used at festivals or cultural events. It speaks of their intimate relationship with their nature and symbolism, wherein every aspect of their decoration signifies something-in this case, quite obviously, the Kachins' timely labor.
