The suspension rings suggest this type of bag was suspended from the belt. One bag contained fire stone, suggesting the bags may have contained fire lighting equipment, with the cross bar being the fire steel. [GRAESLUND 1984]

* Birka, Sweden. 8 graves (1 woman, 5 men, 1 double, 1 unknown) had remnants of bags with bronze fittings. Two of these bags (BJ 731 & 904) were made of cloth with a leather lid and strap. 2 bags (and one possible) were found with lids entirely covered in metal. In BJ 644 the lid was covered in gold plated silver. In BJ 819 the lid of the bag was covered in copper alloy made of two halves and riveted to the lid. [GRAESLUND 1984]
