Default Powder flask from Afghanistan

Hi guys
Do any of you have such powder flask in the collection? It is interesting to see their varieties.

Hi
I saw at least three like this one and one is published by Oliver Pinchot.

Hi Kubur!

You are talking about the powder flask that is published in the book in the book Arms of the Paladins : The Richard R. Wagner Jr. Collection of Fine Eastern Weapons?

Interesting that Jonathan Barrett, a well-known expert in Oriental arms ( I still remember his invited lecture on Indian sword hilts in Timonium) defines both his examples as Indian, not Afghani. Strangely, I could not find anything similar in Oliver’s book.
Where would you place yours?

I'd be vague and say Northern India/Afghan, as I assume its more a tribal design ?
