|Archaeology =
* Birka, Sweden. Found in at least 5 graves, 3 of which were men'sgraves. The suspension rings suggest this type of bag was suspended from the belt. One bag (BJ 949) was possibly made of squirrel fur, with the fur on the outside of the bag. One bag contained fire stone, suggesting the bags may have contained fire lighting equipment, with the cross bar being the fire steel. [GRAESLUND 1984][GRAESLUND 1984:P.145]
|Discussion =
The position suspension rings suggest this type of bag was suspended from the pouch in belt. One bag contained fire stone, suggesting the grave suggests they were carried inside the clothingbags may have contained fire lighting equipment, not on with the belt. Where dateable, they are from cross bar being the JBSfire steel.[GRAESLUND 1984]
