Viking Lyre purse

Description

I did not make this viking lyre purse, it was made by my friend Frej. It is close to a copy of the original find from Birka. While the original fur was from squirrel this is made from Marten. This purse is very small, about 10 cm long and 9 cm wide. They are usually even smaller than this one. The smallest I've seen was 6x4 cm. There are several finds of this type of purse, most of them are found on the Swedish island of Gotland.
