Cowhide

     Cowhide is one kind of organic item that survived. Although most of the pieces are tattered, one cowhide is complete, and several others are nearly whole. The complete hide had been folded and stitched around its edges to form a large bag. Stitching holes are about .25 inch apart. The threads have not survived, but their lashing marks are still evident.
