This is a drawing of two intricately designed bags. The image depicts two separate bags, each with its own unique color and design. The top bag displays a rich combination of purples and reds, with a floral motif in the center and is titled "Case A/Iroquois Bag." The lower bag has an earthy tone, with a more muted green and brown palette, featuring an abstract pattern, and is labeled "Bella Coola Dance Bag." Both bags are presented on a plain background with handwritten notes alongside them.
