In Celtic myth tales, hounds are emblematic of courage, extreme loyalty, and honor. Hounds were prized as companions of the hunt and travelers between worlds. They were also closely associated with healing. Gallic gods of healing springs had sacred hounds, and votive offerings to these gods often portrayed dogs and their owners. Hounds, invariably magical, were the constant companions of many Celtic heroes.

This is a beautiful brown OOAK deerskin messenger bag! This bag has been painstakingly hand stitched (not even with a sewing machine) and painted with beautiful silver ink, green, brown and black acrylic paints. The leather bag is incredibly soft and has been lined with a forest green jersey fabric. The bag is supposed to look rugged and thus the stitching criss-crosses and etc. There is an amazing metal celtic button of a triskle as well! The silver painted celtic design is that of a hound and crescent moon- this design has been sealed so that it wont smudge but I still do not recommend taking this bag out into the rain! The strap of this bag is composed of three hand braided thick brown leather cords that cross around the body.

Measurements:
Width- 12 inches
Height- (not including straps) 11 inches
Straps- 39 inches long (from one silver loop to the next)
