Powder Flask

Unknown

late 17th century · Ivory, silver, gold, steel · Arms and Armor

The finely carved scenes represent hunters and horsemen. Given its quality and materials, this flask must have been made to accompany a lavishly decorated hunting rifle (for example, acc. nos. 28.125 and 42.50.8).
