Here is another ~ said to be Ottoman leather powder flask and belt pouch, 19th century, possibly North African, the circular flask having a silver metal spout, decorative medallion, and silver nail studs, 3"h x 5"w x 8"d; the pouch with applied silver metal mounts, 7"w x 6.5"w

Identical to the project flask. I assume they mean the pouch is leather ... I think the round flask is wood...? Ah I'm wrong ... see the reverse view it's leather. I assume leather over wood?

See sold item at https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/a...d-a52a011541ea

Is this the same item please?
