This leather girdle purse (Belt pouch) is modeled after the one depicted in the illumination "Dogs Defend their Master" found in the book "De proprietatibus rerum" (On The Order of Things), bound circa 1350 AD.

It is crafted from 2 oz leather, hand stitched, hand tooled, and dyed with homemade vinegroon dye. The compartment measurements are roughly 6.5" by 4.5"

I think that it would look even better if you embroidered the design in with some sort of white cording.

I have enough of your purses at the moment.

I was considering that. What I had thought about was using the same thread I did the edges with to do a simple running stitch along the design. I wasn't sure how well it would sell like that though. If it goes much longer unsold, I may do it just for shitz and giggles.
