[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 10100539, member: 84"]Found this at my regular thrift store today! When I first saw it, it was folded jn half with a handle? on each side exactly at the halfway point of the entire piece. When I opened it I thought it was a tribal rug of some kind- but then I noticed I ne side opens like a sack? A pillow case? But with the handles at the 1/2 way point, you could load half of it & then fold the top half over & you have a backpack? Or a sack 2 people can carry; 1 holding each side? But then I saw a square cloth stapled to one corner - the staples have long since rusted some color into the cloth and it has some writing on it. The artist/sewer? A description from a store or dealer? What exactly do I have? Or read what the tag says? Thank you for any info!
