It is made of all beads using the Atacamé stitch. It is made by men for women as a sign of their love for her. It represents the man’s love and connection with her. It is used to carry items of importance or to carry medicines or fruit during harvesting. The size depends on how many rows up/sideways: 1 to 10 rows is small, 10 to 15 rows is medium, 15 to 20 rows is large, and 25 to 30 rows is extra large, etc. It could either be added sideways for height or up down for width or both. It takes 6 to 15 hours or about 2 days to make. Men work for hours to stitch this item for the woman he loves. It sometimes has tassels to ward off jealousy and jealous spirits as well as to alert tribal members she is coming through. These bags are complex and beautiful items made of and with love and compassion. It is an item used by the women to show other men she is taken and is cared for and loved. Women use them to collect pigments, seeds, flowers, etc. to create beautiful items and paintings. These bags have a calming sound as the tassels sways as she walks. The men carefully stitch these items together to make it strong, so the bag doesn’t break. As the women wear it they hold the side of the bag, so it doesn’t move around too much to prevent the strap from breaking.
