I usually spend my days making knifes and sheaths but some time I get an order for a tarsoly.

A tarsoly is a kind of small bag or satchel worn by 9-10th century Magyar warriors. It was attached to a richly decorated belt together with sabre, bow and bow case.

The tarsoly is usually decorated with metal fittings and expensive cloth. There is several of these bags found in a Scandinavian viking age context, probably imported as signs of wealth and/or as gifts from merchants involved in trade.

Here is a original finding from about 900 BC here in Sweden.

That is unfortunately!

It must have been some difficulties with my Google Sites preferences, I can't seem to edit my first post. I hope these show up:

Wow, really nice! What about the (brass?) frontpiece of the last one. Did you make it yourself or did you order it somewhere?

Great work! and thanks for the link- I was able to do a general search for 'leather' (thank you google translate) and, well, that was a few hours ago!

Extremely nice!!!!!! You have some good sources for beautiful attachments as well. I know they will make many folks envious and will want to know where you purchased all of the decorative items.

Thank you for sharing your work with us.

God Bless.
