DescriptionBags (.46f-.i and .47f-i): Group of eight bags, four bags for each stand. Each long, narrow bags holds one leg for each stand. Each shorter, wider bag holds the metal piece that mounts the legs to the underside of the stand top. Each bag is made of hand-stitched, plain-woven printed tan cotton. The cotton has a pattern in brown consisting of lines and dots, resembling branches or roots. The pattern runs in horizontal stripes across the fabric of the long, narrow bags, and it runs vertically on the shorter, wider bags. Each bag is made of a single piece of fabric, folded in half lengthwise, then stitched at the bottom and up one side. The opening of six of the eight bags is finished with a narrow hem; the opening of two of the long, narrow bags is unhemmed.
