When setting out on a long journey, staying hydrated is as vital as a sturdy sword at your side. This leather costrel bottle is crafted by hand from thick, genuine bovine leather, stitched together with strong cord to withstand the rigors of travel. Its rounded shape, measuring about 13.75 inches in diameter, holds roughly 48 ounces,enough to keep you refreshed on the road. A wooden stopper, secured with a leather thong, seals the opening tightly to prevent spills, while the interior is coated with beeswax. This natural wax lining not only helps keep your drink pure but also protects the leather from soaking through. The costrel’s strap allows it to be slung over the shoulder or hung from a belt, making it a practical companion for pilgrims, soldiers, and travelers alike.
