Roman Hedgehog Ball Pouch: For Tarot, Dice, Runes

This hand printed hedgehog pouch is available at my Etsy store.

The design for the pouch was inspired by Pliny the Elder's (an Ancient Roman author and natural philosopher) view on hedgehogs. The hedgehog is a Roman symbol of knowledge. Pliny the Elder said that hedgehogs would kick grapevines to make the grapes fall to the ground. They would then roll in the grapes to impale them on their spikes.

I hand printed this cotton pouch with a hand carved hedgehog stamp on my etching press, see the last photo. I finished the fabric pouch with two shades of brown poly-satin ribbons and see-through green/brown plastic beads, see the third image.

It is great for storing all sorts of things, such as: Tarot Cards (the pouch will fit a deck of 65mm x120mm tarot cards), Gem Stones, Rune Stones, Dice, Jewellery and whatever else you can think of.

Size: approx. 13cm x 19cm
