Belt Bag from Gulbische mound

This hand-sewn pouch is based on surviving fittings discovered in the Gulbishche burial mound in Kievan Rus. Due to the incomplete nature of the find, the leather section and fastening system have been faithfully recreated based on similar, preserved examples of bags from the era, including those from Uyelgi, Kyiv, and the Rusenikhinsky mound.

The pouch is handmade from natural, vegetable-tanned, soft cowhide leather and is waxed. It is adorned with a set of cast brass fittings. An optional linen or silk lining is also available, which is also supported by historical sources. Its dimensions have been chosen to maintain historical accuracy.

Gulbische Belt Bag – 10th Century

This hand-sewn pouch is based on surviving fittings discovered in the Gulbishche burial mound in Kievan Rus. Due to the incomplete nature of the find, the leather section and fastening system have been faithfully recreated based on similar, preserved examples of bags from the era, including those from Uyelgi, Kyiv, and the Rusenikhinsky mound.

When examining historical sources, we come across many artifacts, including very well-preserved examples where the leather part of the bag also survived. Thanks to the abundance of archaeological and iconographic material, we are able to faithfully reproduce these items.

Materials and Craftsmanship

The pouch is handmade from natural, vegetable-tanned, soft cowhide leather and is waxed. It is adorned with a set of cast brass fittings. An optional linen or silk lining is also available, which is also supported by historical sources. Its dimensions have been chosen to maintain historical accuracy.

Measurements

The pouch's measurements are approximately 12 x 11 cm (without the strap).

Availability and Ordering

The pouch is available in several color options and with an optional lining.

Complete your attire with an authentic accent straight from the 10th century! This pouch is not only a functional item but also a piece of history that will perfectly complement your reenactment.
