Description
This model is inspired by traditional bags, decorated with the element of bala (baby, small) kataba, a cylindrical or otherwise elongated medallion. Pieces carrying this element were called katabali (literally, ‘with kataba’).
The small piece on the clasp-pin was inspired by margin patterns which are believed to represent the Ssymbol. S-shaped ornaments resemble funnelled flows of water and thus hint at a settled-down, ameliorated way of life or, according to other interpretations, at fertility and immortality
