Tell you what, I'll ask on Medieval Leather if anyone has a clue. There just
might be someone who's aware of exactly what sort of container might have
been used for spices- the standard SCA type pouch, I think, would have
allowed too many to be lost to the interior of the pouch.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.
