Only the thread remains of its mate opposite. The flap anchored to these two buttons to hold the bag closed.
Shoulder strap appears to be unbroken and is tied into a knot. One side of the knot has 10.00 inches of the strap while the other has about 12.00 inches.
The interior of the bag only retains about a quarter of the linen liner. [ad][ph:L]
