Bag from the Drakensberg Region, South Africa

A rather unusual and dynamic diagonal grid pattern distinguishes this beautifully designed bag. The bag itself is beaded in a speckled style that softens the alternating hues of red, green, and black, while the coloration on the bundled strands of the strap stands out more boldly. Details in aqua, pink, red, and white are found in clusters along the strap and at the bottom fringe of the bag.
