My pencil carrier (Azeri)

I participated, and these zoom meetings are becoming lively. I chose Azerbaijan, and my timing was perfect, given the state has occupied the news all week long, repeating the conflict, for which there was a cease fire, when I had my Fulbright in Azerbaijan.
I chose a simple theme: small bags and displayed one from Azerbaijan and one from the Republic of Georgia. The former was a noble bag, actually used for carrying tobacco? and the latter was a bag made by the monasteries in Georgia just outside Tibilisi.
The Azeri bag is silk and embroidered with silk thread. The Georgian bag is wool and cotton and also embroidered.
