Hand sewing, brass castings, leather edging, underside is covered by linen. Size (of body): 17.5 x 17 cm. Tarsoly (pronounced "tArshoy") is a type of belt purse of Hungarian origin with long tradition. It was a kind of fashion of the time (around 10c.) throughout Hungary and the lands to the East and North, from Ural Mountains to the Viking's trade town of Birka in Scandinavia. This type belt purses were usually decorated with brass mounts or with a single decorated metal plate on flap. The richness of decoration of the tarsoly and the one of the belt on which it was worn demonstrated high rank, wealth and bravery of the owner.
