Sling in 13th Century Spanish Hebrew Manuscript

From an Anglo-Saxon group I belong to... David's sling in a fragment of a Hebrew manuscript dated 1301 from the town of Tudela in Navarre, Spain...

Great picture.  I do wonder what the writing says.

Interesting. It looks almost like a balearic sling with a woven part in between the sides of the pouch.

Once, Toivo and Eino were out hunting, and before setting out, Toivo told Eino to fire three shots in the air if he got lost, and Toivo would find him. Soon enough, Eino got lost, aimed his weapon up and prayed: "God, please let Toivo see my arrows!"

A Balearic? Nope. The letter is closed

It's definitely not balearic in pouch design, but the cords look like those of a balearic sling.

Now that I think about it, all that it would have in common with a balearic sling is the presence of braided cords. Tongue
