Hearst Museum object titled Bag, accession number 9-23764, described as Woman's bag, khury nisa or khury hareem. Very fine weave in black and rust-red with white and black patterning. Pickup patterns = "raqam", both shajarah and 'weirjan type patterns used, always the same in all bags. Top edges of bag are folded over and then stitched with customary edging stitch. Ends are tightly braided and tied in pairs. Bottom edge has tassels. This is for women's use in the tent - not used on a camel. Given to her by the groom at marriage. Two panels joined in middle. Made for sale. Dye used include madder (fuwwa), dried limes (loumi) to make it darker, and alum (shabbah) to mordant further. Plain weave and pickup, 20 EPI. Braiding, tight embroidery (thras) on top edge, buttonhole stitch in alternating black and red blocks on sides, tight whip-stitching from inside for center panel join. This bag is stretched out from being hung. S-ply.
