On the front of the bag the words “WARDENS” (4.0x21.0cm wide), in an arc, and under it “BNP” (4.0x9.0cm wide), in an inverted arc, are stencilled in red ink.Bag (b) 26.0cmx17.2cm wide, is one piece of light cotton canvas material folded and sewn together on the bottom and side to create a bag. It is folded over and sewn down creating a hem of 0.50cm around the opening.Bag (c) 25.5cmx17.5cm wide, is one piece of canvas material folded and sewn together on the bottom and side to create a bag.
