This small tanned suede bag is embroidered with green, white, and pink beads in geometric patterns. Inside are five flint arrowheads.
This piece came to Leipzig from Museum für Vorgeschichte Halle/Saale in 1953 as part of the GDR’s “museum profiling” campaign. There is no further documentation on the object’s origin.
