Two food packs made of woven woollen fabric. The larger one is a length of woven woollen textile with beige, blue, orange, purple and green stripes. Each end is folded back on itself and sewn at the sides to form two large pockets. On the front of each pocket is a length of braided wool with a purple tassel. The smaller pack is made from a green piece of fabric with red stripes, folded in half and stitched along each side.
