Default North African "Banjo" Flask for comment

Just arrived in time for Christmas is this "banjo" shaped flask described by seller as "Moroccan". Certainly has features from there, but is it?
Top to bottom 21cm (8 1/4") and the "banjo" shaped base is 11.5cm (4 1/2") across.
Made of brass,copper and with silver strip. The spout is bone.
The body has decoration of fish and a snake, which is something I have seen elsewhere, but can not place it. Hopefully one of our Members can help with that.
All comments welcome.
