Coca Bag Item Number: 3097/33 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Multicoloured woven coca bag with a long thin woven strap and an open top, with a small flap on the front. Made of two woven panels sewn together to form the front and back of the bag. The strap is woven in yellow, orange, and red with an off-white pattern of lines, sewn into the inside seams of the bag. The front panel has a light tan ground with a column of red, pink, orange, and green stripes in the centre creating a pattern of repeating horse figures with a line connecting to a small rectangle above their backs. The horse figures are bordered by peach coloured vertical stripes. There is a small flap with the same pattern as the central column connected at the top of the flap, and open on the inside of the bag creating a small pocket. The bottom edge of the flap is made up of loops of wrapped threads, in shades of red, pink, orange, and yellow. Each bottom corner of the flap has a long tubular wrapped string with a small elongated ball made of the same wrapped threads at the end. Outside the striped column are two wider columns patterned in dark red with a wide zigzag made up of two thin dark red lines with thin dashes across. There is a conical plant-like motif with mirrored spirals connected to a central line with blocks at each end within each triangle created by the zigzag. The outside of these wide columns is a stripe of alternating blocks, pink and peach coloured on the left and pink and green on the right. The back panel has a dark red ground with a matching green, orange, pink, and red striped column in the centre, with off-white patterns. There is a row along the top of the panel with a horizontal line with circles spaced along it, a narrow row of vertical squiggles, and the rest of the panel is patterned with thin horizontal off-white lines. Both panels are bordered in yellow and connected at the right and left edge with an alternating green and pink edge. The bottom edge of the bag is made up of loops of wrapped threads in shades of green, white, tan, yellow, orange, red, and pink with a wrapped thread ball at each corner and one in the centre. Each ball has two tubular wrapped strings with a ball at each end.
