Magyar belt pouches which were inspired by historical bags of the Viking Age
Here you can buy Tarsoly pouches, inspired by Magyar models from the Viking Age.
Viking Age bags with Magyar Tarsoly metal fittings are not only known from the eastern regions like Ukraine and Russia, but were also found in the Viking settlement Birka in eastern Sweden. It is assumed that the origin of these special Viking pouches lies with the nomadic equestrian peoples of the Magyars in what is now Hungary, where such so-called Tarsoly bags were very common as part of the traditional costume. Due to the extensive trade journeys of the Eastern Vikings from the 8th to the 10th century, these Magyar belt pouches reached Scandinavia via the great rivers from the Eastern steppes. Characteristic for the Magyar Viking belt pouches was a lyra-like design and rich metal fittings, so-called tarsoly, on the pouch flap.Retailers for LARP and medieval or Viking re-enactment are welcome to register for our medieval wholesale.
