Nice! Another time!
The red aplication will be for post there a seal box? There follows the tipical pattern of some of that boxes. So, the pouch could be a letter-container, and then it could be closed by a thread knotted, and the knott inside the seal box... :roll:

Ah, sorry forgot to mention that. First half of 2nd cent. AD. When found, it contained a bunch of legal documents from a Jewish woman called Babata, which were dated in the 120/30s AD. The last one is from Aug. 19, 132. The bag was deposited in the cave at the end of the 2nd Jewish revolt 132-135 AD.

Closure? I'll bet the velcrus dots have fallen off the original. Just like a modern wallet, eh?
Very good stitching work, and a laudus for ya, Martin!

But I think this is really a matzah ball bag.

Seems like a rather useless design. No fastner, no handle. Nice reconstruction though Martin.

Well, at least it's open at one end, so you can put something into it ;-) )
Actually I had the same thought as Jef about using it to carry something by sticking it into your sash or belt.

I've been using a pouch of this design for a while now, and it works pretty well. You could stick it through a sash, though it is rather lsrge for that. But if you tie a string around it, it works just fine. Obviously, it isn't a carrying bag (the En Gedi finds include a large drawstring pouch that answers that description much better). My guess is that it is more of a storage container for documents or other valuable items that can be kept and transported in it safely.
