Historical Use and Symbolism
During the Renaissance (and late medieval period), belt pouches were a common part of attire for nearly all levels of society – from nobles and wealthy townsfolk to soldiers and artisans. They were used to carry coins, personal seals, small tools, or documents. The eagle is a very powerful and widespread symbol in heraldry, often signifying imperial power (Holy Roman Empire), strength, courage, nobility, and military prowess. It was used by monarchs, noble families, and cities throughout Europe.
Interesting Historical Fact
In the Renaissance, pouch designs often became more elaborate. Besides quality leather, expensive materials like velvet, decorative embroidery, or intricate metalwork were used, which, along with heraldic symbols like the eagle, reflected the owner's wealth and status.
