N. African ? Powder Horn.
 

Hello,
I wonder if anybody can tell me anything about this piece. There are holes where I assume a method of suspension would have been. The script may be incorrectly positioned in photo unfortunately not something I am familiar with.
Regards,
Norman.

Hi Norman

Your horn maybe Sudanese it seems very well made so it may Arabian. here is a pic of Manding powder horn from my collection notice there is an leather overlay that the suspensions are attached to.

Here is a group shot of some North african powder flask and horns

It doesn't look like any of those so not North African? Arabic script ,I think, that would still cover a lot of locations, more ideas welcome.
Regards,
Norman.

Hi Norman
as you thought, the scrip was up to down, and for what is readable;
- Allah olla leila
- Only God on top
but no idea for it's origine, sorry
