These figures look pretty familiar to me
 Take a look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...7&postcount=19 It looks like they both traveled from Afghanistan to North India and were "enhanced" there by their later owner, most probably with amuletic purpose. |

Hi Kubar
What an interesting powder flask. And it appears that it's geographical origins would be confirmed per the above posts. The silver and blue stone decoration are very attractive. A wonderful mix of neighboring cultures. It appears that the horn/wood spine is simply depressed in a spring action motion to lift the cover off the spout to access the powder. Am I correct ? Great piece to add to your collection. Congratulations. Rick |
