A portable hole is a circle of magical cloth spun from the webs of a phase spider interwoven with strands of ether and beams of Astral Plane luminaries. <color curtains & color pools?>

When opened fully, a portable hole is 6' in
diameter, but it can be folded as small as a pocket handkerchief. When
spread upon any surface, it causes an extra-dimensional hole 10' deep to
come into being. This hole can be "picked up" from inside or out by simply
taking hold of the edges of the magical cloth and folding it up. Either way,
the entrance disappears, but anything inside the "hole" remains. The only
oxygen in the "hole" is that allowed by creation of the space, so creotures
requiring the gas cannot remain inside for more than a turn or so without
opening the space again by means of the magical cloth. The cloth does not
accumulate weight even if its hole is filled with gold, for example. Each
portable hole opens on its own particular non-dimensional space. If a bag
of holding is placed within a portable hole, a rift to the Astral Plane is torn
in the space, and the bag and the cloth are sucked into the void and
forever lost. If a portable hole is placed within a bag of holding, it opens a
gate to another plane, and the 'hole, bag' and any creatures within o 10'
radius are drawn to the plane, the portable hole and bag of holding being
destroyed in the process.

ADQ: Will a spell effect (such as Dispel
Magic) affect things kept inside a Bag
of Holding or Portable Hole?
ADA: No. The space "inside" either of
these magic items, and all things in
such spaces, are actually on another
plane (ethereal? astral? DM's decision),
and far out of range of the effect.
(Interesting adventure material -- while
plane traveling, you come across all
this junk.)
