Hi Jasper,
This flask - rather small, I assume - is definitely not of Germanic and 16th/17th c. origin.
The body seems way too thick to be able and accommodate much powder, the decoration is situated somewhere between fantasy and Oriental (Romania, Albania ...?) influence, and I much distrust the bone nozzle; such practical pieces of accouterment normally were equiped with an iron nozzle, a spring-loaded powder cut-off and a long hook for attaching the flask to a leather frog or a belt.
The few iron elements are too large to make anypractical sense, so therefore they must be mere ornament only. And real flasks alsmost never were made of bone or ivory, but of horn and wood.
It looks to me like a 19th c. or later tourism piece.
Best,
Michael
