goatskin
Moroccan binding material
Goatskin is the hide of a goat, used for leather goods, parchment, and containers.
Goatskin leather is prized for its softness and durability in gloves, bookbindings, and fine shoes.
Historically, goatskins sewn into bags held water or wine: a goatskin of wine.
The material also refers to parchment made from goat hide.
