BELT POUCHES

The pouch was an indespensible item until around the middle of the 16th century when pockets were sewn into clothing. Without a pouch, personal items and money were stored in sleeves or cop-pieces. Many paintings show both peasants and nobility wearing a flap type pouch on their belt.
Hungarian Belt Pouch - Limited Stock!


Imported from Hungary, this style of handmade leather pouch (tarsoly) is one of the oldest and most unique metalsmithing and leatherworking example from that country. Worn by princes and clan chiefs, it dates back as far as the 9th century when it was a vital part of the mounted fighter's belt accessories. It was especially popular between the 9th and 13th centuries before the Italians and Germans influenced fashion.

The hammered metal cover designs (mustra) characterized by mythological illustrations, trees of life, trees of knowledge and trees of God all intertwined with vines, leaves, and flowerbuds had special meanings, often of a mysterious-healing-magical nature.

Metal cover designs will vary with each order.
