Rectangular piece of fabric plied in two, its lateral edges sewn together with a cream (undyed) woollen thread (Z2s) to form a bag. The sewing thread is well preserved on one edge, on the second only a small fragment is visible as well as at least two sewing holes. In the box where the bag is kept we also found seeds, but no mention of them in the inventory card.
Textile examined by B. Czaja and M.M. Wozniak in February 2017.
