Description: Mostly red in colour with bands of yellow bounded in black. There is a terminal fringe of yellow and red strands (dry and brittle). The bag is made of fibre (straw grass of some kind) and woven in a zigzag formation. There are 3 bands of yellow (with black line for border). The middle band is of 4 squashed octagons (2 on each side) with a red stripe running through their middles. Upon the yellow is a stripe of black and then a further stripe of yellow. The above and below bands of yellow are the same. There are two halves of this octagonal shape on each side, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. These are bordered with a black stripe. At the bottom, beneath the band of yellow, is a base stripe of red. Above the top band of yellow is a thick band of red, which is then followed by the fringe.
