Deerskin

Picture to come.

The hide of a red, roe or fallow deer, the last introduced by the Normans soon after the Conquest and spreading through the 12th century. Deer were strictly protected in royal forests and private parks, so their venison and skins came mainly from lawful hunting by the king and great landholders, or from poaching. Dressed deerskin made soft, supple leather for gloves, clothing and bags.

Specific 12th-century uses of deerskin leather were not confirmed in the sources opened; the uses given are general.
