Pouch, leather

From the mass graves, the Cross Meadow, Visby parish, Gotland, 1250-1361 A.D. A leather pouch can be compared to a modern day handbag. It was used to carry things that one wanted to have easy access to such as coins, a comb or game pieces. The pouch was normally worn hanging from a belt or around the neck. SHM 19325:Mz3
