Thank you Ibrahim!
I was thinking that Uzbek powder flasks were differents...
No more examples or ideas?

I think we need to look at a few different variants...neighboring the Uzbek area...mainly India...though there is every likelihood of Chinese ...since the silk road is common to both...

Thank you Ibrahim, i'm looking for a particular model published by Tirri.
I think that he did a mistake, but I'm not sure...

Hi,
I come back to my question.
Up to now only ibrahim tried to respond.
Sold recently as an Arabian powder flask, but obviously it's Turkmen.

Guys do you think that is a powder flask or Afghan TurkmenTobacco-Snuff Box also known as a Nas Kedi (Naskady)?

I'm pretty sure of the orgin but not of the function. But the Tobacco-Snuff Box seems well documented compared to the powder flask...
Someome has the answer???

I have to say that after hours looking for exhibits I have turned up almost nought which is perhaps to be expected the way history has dealt its hand to Uzbekistan down the ages not least in the Soviet era. I am not sure if there is an Uzbek style of powder flask but that styles from surrounding areas including Persia and India formed the backbone of adopted flasks. I only found one other picture of vague interest of an Uzbek warrior probably pre gunpowder...and place that as an example of the paucity of such work... personally I suspect that anything that looked like a powder flask on the silk road with the appearance of gunpowder weapons would have been used by the Uzbek shooters.
