Both of the manuscript images seem to show the straps attached or integral to the back of the bag much like the York pouch (15739) discussed in [[Bags & Accessories#Drawstring or tagged pouches|Drawstring or tagged pouches]].<br>
A possible method of closing a satchel is suggested by the York find 15729. This is a short leather strip split and knotted at one end with a hole slit in the other. This could be attached by cutting two slits into the satchel flap and the hole end used to close over a bead or leather toggle. [MOULD, CARLISLE and CAMERON 2003: p.3401]<br>
