YET ANOTHER FLASK for ID and COMMENT

kahnjar1 · 29th January 2018, 01:44 AM

Just arrived is this unusual powder flask. Looks to be made of copper. Balkans maybe?? What do we think Gentlemen?
Some observations: The decorated face appears to have been silvered at some stage but is now well worn and only shows on the grooves.
The back of the flask shows traces of having had either leather or some other fabric covering in the past.
The chain, now attached, appears probably not to be original. The squared loops seem more likely to have had a leather? strap thru them.
Any comments and thoughts welcome.
