Nomad Handbag with Ethiopian Breast Plate

Red above, blue below, and a bossed golden disc keeping the peace in between.

This is a handbag with an Ethiopian breast plate. It is leather & bronze. Bronze and brass ornaments from Ethiopia were often cast by the lost-wax method, in which a wax model is covered in clay and replaced by molten metal. Together, a bag in two bold blocks, bright red on the upper part and navy blue on the lower, with red stitched corners. A round embossed disc with raised dots sits at the top center, and a small zippered pouch hangs from a cord. It is 18 inches long and 17.25 high.

Primary colors, no apologies, and a medal on its chest.
