Hi All
I did a bit of a search and found a few old threads on this but most of the photo's etc are now no longer available.
I am about to start a leather water skin.
It will be stretched to shape while wet thereafter sealed with beeswax.
Lastly a simple wooden/cork stopper
Now any ideas on shape? aimed timeline is around AD60
I was going to make one similar in shape to the Spanish wineskin type as I think that will hang better from a Furca or over the shoulder.
However I can make kidney shapes and all sorts of others.
I was just wondering if there are any depictions out there or anything else usefull.
Cheers
