15th/16th century large belt bag

This belt bag is made from tan goat and brown calf skin and is stitched by hand. This design is based on a figure in 'Flemish Proverbs' by Pieter Bruegel painted in 1559 and is a common design in the 15th and 16th centuries. It has a draw string bag that is held closed with a button flap and hangs from a belt loop. The drawstrings have hand made beads on the ends.

It measures 10 x 13 inches (25 x 33cm) when open.
