Description from the seller

a very fine and old powder flask(?) from North- or West Africa, made of horn and leather.

From a German collection. Reportedly collected in the early 20th century by an ancestor of the previous owner.

The leather lid has a tear, as can be seen in photo 3/11 – but this does not detract in any way from the overall impression of this rare item

Length approx. 50cm
