More model informationMany pieces of medieval leatherwork like this were excavated from the moat at Caerlaverock Castle in Dumfries and Galloway and are some of the finest found in Scotland.
Decorated with embossed animals and foliage, this piece of leather is possibly the cover for a small flask or vial. Leather vessels (costrels) and jugs (bombards) used for carrying liquid were common in the medieval period and a practical alternative to ceramic wares.
