North African "Banjo" Flask for comment

Hi Stu.

The curious shape, and the mix of symbols (per Oliver's mention) on this flask make it difficult to pinpoint it's origin. Honestly, I have no idea. But it is certainly attractive looking, even if 20th Century, which I'm confident it is. I would probably have picked this one up myself. Congrats.

Sorry, I thought that had been established. It is certainly Moroccan.

Thank you Gentlemen for the comments.
Yes I agree that it is indeed 20th century as a lot of Moroccan flasks currently being sold appear to be.
