Product details
A VINTAGE ISLAMIC BRASS GUN POWDER FLASK
THIS IS A TRADITIONAL VINTAGE BRASS POWDER FLASK FOUND ALL OVER NORTH AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST FOR CARRYING AND DISCHARGING GUNPOWDER INTO ALL THE VARIOUS TYPES OF JEZAILS, ARABIAN MUSKETS AND FLINTLOCK PISTOLS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE SEEN SOME LISTINGS MENTION THESE ARE WATER FLASKS BY FAR THE MAJORITY INCLUDING THE MILITARY SITES SEEM TO THINK ITS A GUNPOWDER FLASK.
CIRCULAR IN FORM, 20CM ACROSS WITH A 7CM SPOUT, THE FLASK WOULD HAVE BEEN CARRIED OVER THE SHOULDER OR ON THE HIP OR SADDLE VIA A CORD OR BRASS CHAIN ATTACHED TO EITHER SIDE OF THE FLASK. ITS ALL BRASS EVEN THE CHAIN.
MOST OF THESE GUN POWDER FLASKS DATE FROM THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY. THIS ONE HAS LITTLE PATINA AND I WOULD THINK ITS DATES FROM AROUND THE MID TWENTIETH CENTURY.
THIS BRASS FLASK IS PROFUSELY ENGRAVED IN TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC FLORAL SCROLL AND GEOMETRIC DESIGNS OVERALL.
CONDITION: SOME MINOR BENTS. NEEDS A STOPPER. IN GOOD CONDITION.
SIZE: 20CM DIAMETER 9CM DEEP
WEIGHT 600G
