A small, cylindrically-shaped basket with an opening at the top and a thin long handle. Used to store seeds while farmers would walk and scatter them to plant.<br />
<br />
This seed pouch was made by weaving double strips of Korean moonseed using the same weaving method as a straw mat. It was used to store seeds or when planting them. Farming households made pouches such as these in adequate sizes whenever needed, as they were easy to make. Near the opening of the pouch, a piece of iron wire has been attached as a strap.
