Animal product

Hide

Picture to come.

The skin of a large animal, usually cattle, taken at slaughter or from the hunt. Hides were turned into leather by tanners, who removed the hair and soaked the skins for many months in pits of liquor made from crushed oak bark. The result was a tough leather used for shoes, belts, harness, buckets and much else. Tanning was a smelly trade, usually kept to the edge of town.

Caveats (confidence: medium)

Tanning duration and method are from traditional practice; 12th-century details are assumed similar.
