Here is another ~ said to be Ottoman leather powder flask and belt pouch, 19th century, possibly North African, the circular flask having a silver metal spout, decorative medallion, and silver nail studs, 3"h x 5"w x 8"d; the pouch with applied silver metal mounts, 7"w x 6.5"w
Identical to the project flask. I assume they mean the pouch is leather ... I think the round flask is wood...? Ah I'm wrong ... see the reverse view it's leather. I assume leather over wood? See sold item at https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/a...d-a52a011541ea Is this the same item please? Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. Last edited by Ibrahiim al Balooshi; 16th July 2017 at 01:08 PM. |

yes leather over wood and also yes it's the same bottle, but not bought in that auction. There was also no pouch, only the flask...strange.
I bought it in a UK auction, not in US. |

Too bad the pouch dissapeared. The iron reinforced leather pouch is also typical of Afghan construction. And appears in very nice condition like the flask.
