One of the things I like best about this sporran is the tooling under the flap. When a craftswoman puts that much effort and detail into something that few people will ever see it speaks to the attention she has put into EVERY part of the project. That sort of care was common in the 18th and 19th centuries but, sadly, is not common any more. Look at the works of an old clock or watch, for example. They were as beautiful on the inside as they were on the outside despite the fact that the delicate scroll work or guilloche finishes would rarely, if ever, be seen.
