- Wallets.
GK 1, GK 2 (Figs. 35, 36, 37, p. 44-46). These illustrations give some idea of a group of wallets evidently all made by members of the same tribe. They all have substantial handles made from ten or twelve-strand square plaits (Fig. 35c) finished off with a tassel, and are elaborately decorated by finely worked patterns of similar form.

One especially interesting feature is the use of an animal motive resembling a dog. This occurs in three of the bags, and is shewn in the details of GK I (Fig. 35a) and GK 2 (Fig. 37). Figure 36 shews the detail of the design at the side of GK 1.
