In the Bode-Museum in Berlin there is a (if i remember correctly) 5th cent. marble sarcophagus with a sheepherder (?), who has a single strap backpack. The strap has a simple buckle on the chest. There's not much to see of the backpack. Seems to be round on the bottom like a simple sack. Closing method at the top cannot be seen. Maybe I can find the time to take a photo around christmas.
