Thank you Ward.
Quite a surprise this is Afghan, and so it seems for Ariel, too. I am anxious to see those pictures of yours. I would like to see the use of that empty hole, near the spout cap. It would either be for another hook, like the existing one in the center, for a double suspended "lanyard", or for some device to hold the spout cap tightly closed. I hope your pictures will help to find that out. Thanks again |

Thank you very much Ward
Very nice and deeply interesting. They all have a common suspension system ... double hanging from paralel rings, the only basic difference between those and mine. I wonder what is the use of that little portruding device in the container bottom. I see now that mine use to have one of those, but is cut off now. If ever you get a bit more defined picture, kindly do. BTW, any specific region in Afghanistan they come from ? Thanks again |

Here are some better images. I have to reduce the size of the photos so much I lose detail. Beyond being Turkoman I have never found a more detailed exact source in regard to cities.the bump protruding from the bottom of yours is the end of rod holding spring to container
