Object
Yuta's Small Ritual Bag (ceremonial decanter carrier)
A small, nondescript carry pouch—palm‑sized and compact—made of plain fabric or soft leather with a simple closure that keeps a slender glass decanter stowed. Yuta holds it unobtrusively at her side; she lifts and withdraws the decanter during the ceremony, the bag disappearing again into the background once the offering is presented. The pouch reads as utilitarian rather than ornamental, its modest profile concentrating attention on what it contains rather than on itself.

Purpose
To contain and transport a small decanter (the ceremonial brandy) safely and discreetly for presentation during ritualized exchanges.
Significance
Functions as the physical keeper of the ritual gift: the bag stages and enables Marouk's offering of amnesty and brandy, marks Yuta as the quiet steward of the gesture, and intensifies the scene's ceremonial weight and political tension by turning a private object into public currency in the negotiation.
