A pouch made, on the front, with synthetic velvet with a navy blue background and printed patterns in cobalt blue, separated in some areas, by thin brown lines, and depicting a cardoon leaf motive within Renaissance-inspired lozenges. On the back, cotton taffeta was used with a combination of black and white warps and weaves. The front opening and the outside of the piece are reinforced with a fibre border trim in synthetic sky blue. Finishing the upper edge, a braid in black veleves with ribbons of black cotton thread sewn on both sides so that it can be fastened to the waist. These types of clothing were used as pouches for holding small objects. It is part of the regional attire of Brozas (Cáceres).
