What is the thing Sakura is carrying?


In the [first opening sequence](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI99Wjba8H4) of
Cardcaptor Sakura, towards the end she is shown carrying some sort of object
which has written on it "SAKURA" in blue.

It seems to be tied to her hand or something. Apart from the letters, it seems
to be orange, though it may have been intended to be transparent. I think I've
seen the same thing in at least one of the episodes, though I don't remember
which and I don't remember it being explained there. I really can't tell what
it's supposed to be.

**What is the object in Sakura's left hand in the above image?**




As the comments by 曾気青昭雄 and Raxon suggest, this is indeed a bag. This bag was
featured as the point in the Kero-chan check at the end of episode 10 of the
anime:

In this segment, it is explained by that Sakura uses this bag as a case to
carry the baton she uses for her cheerleading. The letters "SAKURA" are
embroidered on the bag. It was made by Sakura's father.
