Fragment van een geldbuidel c. 1590 - 1596

This fragment of a leather purse, created by an unknown artist around 1590-1596, is a fascinating example of early 16th-century craftsmanship. The piece is composed of folded and stitched leather, which suggests a more intricate and decorative purse than the typical plain fabric. While not a complete purse, this fragment provides insight into the materials and techniques employed during the era, offering a glimpse into the everyday objects used by people centuries ago. Currently, it's part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
