Hope you don't mind me posting this. An Islamic (?) 'belt hanging' container ??? Although not a weapon I have a feeling that it may be 'warrior' related.
Brass, hand embossed lidded container with, I think, a great deal of age. The leather thong may be a hanging aid from a belt. The back of the 'container' is slightly concave suggesting it would 'fit' more comfortably against the arm or leg.
OAL 7" (18cms)
Any suggestions to what it is or what it may have contained contain (did a 'smell' test on the inside ...nothing obvious. Although my 'other half' said it smelt like old museums ....a new technical term
Any ideas or comments ? Thank you
Regards David
