These purses are made from vegetable tanned calf and goat skins that have been dyed using period dyes and they are made entirely by hand. This design is based on a figure in 'The Peasant Dance' by Pieter Bruegel painted in 1568. It hangs from a leather cord and is 9 x 6 inches (23 x 15 cms). The front and back of the main section is made from calf leather to help keep it's shape and there is a wide side gusset which gives it lots of room. The front has a seperate pocket held closed with it's own drawstring.
