Interesting exhibits. In my view Rajastan may hold some clues for the Barudan and Fish Barudan . The stopper on the big brown Barudan looks similar to some of those at https://www.google.com/search?q=raja...w=1366&bih=662 Perhaps it is Ivory or more likely a camel bone stopper. The painted fish is typical for India and I have seen a lot from Rajastan.
The Ottoman form brass scoop is classic. They are found across the region.

Hi Rick,
Finally new stuff! Congratulations! #1 I like very much the leather, in very good condition. I wonder if it could be something from Afghanistan or Central Asia... #2 in my dream list, the problem is that i saw few of them on epray and i wonder if they are genuine or just if they were powder flasks... Is it wood or papier mache? If it's lacquered wood, ok for South India if it's papier mache i would say Nothern India... #3 welcome to the club! Best, Kubur |

Thanks for your response. Yes, the Barudan is in really nice shape. This is the first one I've owned, so very happy to add this to my collection. One curiosity: All of these seem to be fairly large in size. I've never seen one that is small to medium in size. Artzi said that he has never seen a smaller one either. Just curious. The Fish flask is wood. I think most of these you see on line (usually made of metal and smaller in size) are Tourist items. This one looks quite old. I'll post it again after the stopper is made.

Thanks for your response and the Link. Yes, the spout assembly is probably camel bone. And, as you mention, the powder measure seems to be common across the Region. I too have seen a few offered on-line. But it was nice to be able to inspect this one first and note the good working conditon. And get it for a reasonable price. Thanks again. Rick |
