I cant say anything about the age of the flask. But one of the pictures looks like a picture of Saint George and the dragon, George holding a swedish or finnish flag. Very intresting objekt once you take the time to really look at it. Thanks for sharing.

That bone flask looks like it was made for hunting. Maybe Bavarian or Dutch? It certainly is nice looking. This would be a good one for Matchlock to comment on if he were still with us. My guess is 18th Century - or earlier. It's in great condition. Wish I could offer more help. By the way, that is a magnificent looking Wheellock Dag and Flsk !!!! Rick |

This Thread has produced a large quantity of wonderful looking Ethno flasks. Thanks to all that participated.
Here are two Indian flasks that I posted seperately a couple months ago. I'll re-post here just for this Thread...... A very nice Barudan wrapped in tooled leather in wonderful condition. And a smaller, painted wooden flask in the shape of a fish, probably from South India. Rick |

Here is a powder flask, described as Moroccan in Stone. Unfortunately, it is not pictured among the flasks in Buttin's plate about Morocco and North Africa. I do not have reasons to doubt Stone's attribution, but then again, I have also never seen a picture or a drawing confirming it.
