DescriptionTan leather pouch that is folded into three parts. When pouch is fully opened it is shaped like a mitten. The square end has an open flap that appears to function as a storage area for coins or money, though it appears, given the presence of holes, that it may have been sewed shut or at least has a function that would allow it to be tied closed. Under those holes are wave-like stitchings that appear on both sides. They are not identical. On the outside of the pouch are three clusters of red thread that are sewn into the pouch.On View
