Instrument roll, which consists of a rectangular piece of light beige canvas with folding flaps at the top, bottom, and left sides; the inside of the roll has two cloth straps sewn in, running horizontally; there are also vertical cross loops (15 loops on each strap), which provide slots to hold instruments (autopsy knives in this roll); the flap at the left side has two small, rounded pockets sewn onto the inner edge; the pockets have upper flaps that open and close them, and which are secured with a loop and round mother-of-pearl button; when all three flaps of the instrument roll are folded in, the roll can be rolled up from right to left, then secured with a cloth tie that is attached to the outside edge of the left flap.
