What are those horizontal stripes which are common in chuvals for? I have also realized now that there are very simple chuvals with similar stripes but in black color on white background. (all chuval is white and only stripes are black). This made me think about if the stripes were for utilitarian purpose. Can they be just simple scaling markers which are helpful when weighing the amount of grain in them?
