Description

This leather saddlebag consists of two separate cases that are connected by a leather strip. Each case is designed with compartments specifically tailored to hold vials. Currently, the bag contains seven glass vials and two tin containers. The bag is secured using straps with buckle closings, and there is a small leather loop that appears to be intended for attaching the bag to a saddle.
