Thanks for your answer Kubur! The use of stone as a material is not something common as far as I know. Do you by any chance have a photo of a similar primer flask from a book or a museum ? |

to be sure you have to break it, please don't do it :) Elgood has one in his book, he said Bosnian But there is another one in Topkapi Museum and they said Turkish... I'll try to do some photos... |

Yes, what an interesting powder flask. And it appears we have a close idea of it's origin. Unusual shape and combination of construction materials.
Notice the plug with slight threads on the larger end to facilitate filling the container with powder. With the smaller, tapered end used for priming. A really nice piece with lots of decorative chain. Congratulations. Rick |
