The problem with Thuya is...It is the national tree of Malta however, it grows in the foothills of the Atlass Mountains thus I agree on the potential of this being a Moroccan item...I couldn't find a picture of this flask on the waist but I am sure one will materialize...Thanks Oliver great reply...

They used also argan tree. It was suspended as Oliver described. This shape was mainly used on the saddle and of course its Moroccan.
And this one is old... Best, Kubur |

Excellent both Oliver and Kubur. The obvious design for a leather strap combined with "saddle" attachment makes even more sense. Maybe a few smaller leather straps, twisted together in somewhat of a figure-8 form (?). But makes sense.
