<p>195.184.181.1: </p> <hr /> <div>sitgetbocs<br /> If you take a look at [[12th century]] [[artwork]], you will see very few depictions of [[pouch]]es. Yet quite a few extant 12th century pouches exist. The most likely explanation is that [[pouch]]es and [[purse]]s were only shown when they were significant to the artwork.<br /> <br /> One context in which we do see a purse depicted is a [[seal]] of a 12th century [[taxman]]. The seal depicts a man holding out a purse and a couple of [[coin]]s dropping into it. The pouch suddenly becomes important as the occupational tool of the [[tax collector]].<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:12th century|Purses]]</div>
