|Archaeology =
* Birka, Sweden. 4 definite and 20 possible examples of this type of bag were found in 23 graves at Birka. 7 were in men’s graves, 6 with women, 1 child, 6 unknown and 3 double graves. 16 contained coins. Two (BJ 808, 965) had fur on the inside. [GRAESLUND 1984]
* Frisia. A folded pouch was found in Roswinkel, Holland containing C9th coins.[GRAESLUND 1984:P.145]
|Discussion =
The position of the pouch in the grave suggests they were carried inside the clothing, not on the belt. Where dateable, they are from the JBS.[GRAESLUND 1984]
