Gibeciere
A gibeciere is a large pouch or small satchel for keeping ready access to small equipment when on the move.
Uses
[edit]Hunting (historical)
[edit]
Hunters using a muzzleloader used a gibeciere for easy access to their gunpowder, wadding, gunflint, and other equipment.[1]
Magic
[edit]
A gibeciere is used by magicians to carry their repertoire, or as a utility device.[2] It is still used in modern times by street magicians to ease transporting props on one's person.[3]
It is commonly held around the performer's waist by a belt, and the pouch commonly rests along the front of the body, just below the waistline.
