Hi Stu,

Very nice objects.
The chain is old and IMHO they are from 1890-1920.
I think the box demonstrates clearly that most of the so-called Koran boxes are in fact bullet boxes. The enamel work and the powder horn are probably Moroccans. Now the welded suspension rings of the powder horn make me think that both were sold as companions and they are decorative objects.

Best,
Kubur
