Casgliadau Arlein

The front and back of this pocket are each made from one piece of twill weave linen, the lower front is lined. The back has two large patches. There is a hole on the lower front and much wear elsewhere. This pocket belongs to a group of five pockets from the same donor (59.285.6-9 & 59.245.30). They have several features in common, such as construction methods and some materials, signs of heavy wear and extensive repair often using the same methods.
