Hi Steve,
Yes I agree. I am sure that this is a priming flask for Matchlock/Flintlock.
I had posted this for "comment" to see if my thoughts were confirmed. The powder residue that was in the flask was VERY fine and would have been for priming.
This is the first really small Moroccan/North African flask I have been able to acquire, so am rather pleased with it.
