The base of the mochila always consists of a spiral symbolizing the creation of life and a kaanas (pattern) representing the cosmos, the sun, and the stars. On the body of the mochila , the kaanas represent the dreams and life paths of the woman. Each bag woven from cotton thread thus carries the story of the woman who made it .
