Shoulder Bag Kàj ngré

Kàj ngré shoulder bag, a container intertwined between household utensils, for the conservation of personal and family objects. These objects are made by men using the veins of leaves (mauritia flexuosa, mauritia vinifera).
From the making a rectangular shaped mat with one of the short sides (also in the shape of a triangle), to folding it into a 'U' shape. Then the whole thing is fixed by adding two walls. Various ornaments generally made with cotton threads and/or bird feathers decorate the artefact.
In the Museum since 2002. From Parà.
