👜🕯️ What Medieval Women Carried in Their Little Pouches 📜😴 | History for Sleep
Unwind to a calm, sleep-friendly look inside the small pouches that moved quietly at a woman’s belt. In soft, even narration, we sift through everyday things: a few coins and a token for market counting, a wax tablet and stylus for notes, a chalk stub for prices and lists, and a short string for measure. We notice a needlecase, pins, a bit of thread, and a thimble for mending on the way; a tiny salve pot of beeswax and herbs; and, for fire, flint, steel, and tinder wrapped in linen. For devotion there might be paternoster beads, a pilgrim badge tucked flat, or a folded prayer. For grooming, a small bone comb and a modest mirror of polished metal; for scent, a pomander or sprig of rosemary. Keys often hang at the belt, yet a spare cupboard key may ride inside; a seal matrix or ribboned token rests in a corner, along with a tally slip to settle accounts. Rather than chase legend, we linger on textures: the soft jingle of coins, linen that smells faintly of herbs, a tablet traced and warmed by the hand, and the quiet habit of order that lets a household move through market day and home again.
