Not oriental in my view... European....or....?

see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...r+flask+german

Although... The base is curved...which leads me to suggest Moroccan and with the same style of small handles..seen below.

Such humanoid shapes may be related to Talisman so I show a similar shape from Oman...Adam near Nizwa . Warding off the Devil. ( The Devil being the geometric shape traced out in red on your flask face.) The geometry may also be a warding off the evil eye illustrated by the central rectangle..The Eye.

I NOTE THE REPEAT SEQUENCE OF 7 geometric shapes all around the item...and the geometric shapes are miniature evil eyes ...Warding off the Evil Eye. Thus the powerful Talismanic form on your powder flask.

Salaams Wodimi, and welcome to this thread... Years ago when I joined I followed your posts and I know you are a specialist in African spears... as well as other weapons... Unfortunately I cannot get that web page to connect but will keep trying.

Salaams Wodimi,
That could be the sister of the item at #23. Thank you. Same basic geometry and exact shape.
