Members Edvin Posted September 2, 2013 Members Report Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) 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. http://mis.historisk....asp?fid=107042 I have made a couple of these for customers, hope you like them! I hope you like them!

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. Ray Quote
