The common occurrence of animal skin products through time, whether vegetable tanned leather, parchment, vellum, fat-cured skins or rawhide attest to its enduring versatility, utility and desirability. Typically grouped together as 'leather', the versatility of these materials is remarkable: they can be soft and supple like a textile, firm and rigid like a basket, or hard and watertight like a pot or gourd. 606 $aLeather garments$xHistory 606 $aLeather industry and trade 606 $aLeather goods$xHistory 606 $aLeatherwork$xConservation and restoration 615 0$aLeather garments$xHistory. 615 0$aLeather industry and trade. 615 0$aLeather goods$xHistory. 615 0$aLeatherwork$xConservation and restoration. 676 $a685.22 702 $aHarris$b Susanna 702 $aVeldmeijer$b A.
