The winning object for August’s second chance / lucky loser month is this lovely leather purse from Trig Lane (TL74 <426>)

It is the front of a two piece purse, cut from deerskin and decorated with stitching in the form of two circular panels with two undulating lines on each side of the stitch. There’s also a horizontal slit cut below the top edge with four further slots beneath this, which would have had drawstrings threaded through.
