PRIMER FLASK.....from where???

Just picked this one up, and would like some comment and suggestions as to origin.
The base has a plug, which is (I assume) used to fill the flask as it would be impossible to fill it from the spout end.
The flask body is horn, decorated with metal work and turquoises and glass beads. The spout is not adjustable as one would expect on a primer flask, and is covered by a nice friction fit cap. Both caps have chain anchor loops but the chain is missing.
A bit different from the usual primer flask seen around.
