Default Powder? Flask ID needed

Picked this up a while back. Supposed to be some kind of powder flask. Not water tight. Any ideas anyone?

Hi, Are you sure it's a powder flask? is there any residual smell around the spout that would indicate any other use, maybe a medicinal flask of some kind? I can't place the style of decoration. At first I thought Caucasus/ Russian, but I can't really back that hunch up.

Hi Bryan

I honestly don't know what it is. The seller described it as a powder flask, but I have my doubts.
There is no obvious smell apart from dusty old metalic etc.
Here's a better pic.
Thanks
