Description: | Light brown pouch-shaped leather bag with plain leather tassles extending from the bottom. Star of the North pattern on the front flap with plaited leather shoulder straps, both of which are broken at the ends. Inside has double pockets, one of which has zipper closure on it.
Made by the Hausa women. Not just for trade, as the women themselves had them. Celia King was in Nigeria for 10 years in the 1960s with her husband and two young children. Her husband worked as a teacher on a government scheme.
