POWDER FLASKS FOR ID AND COMMENT

kahnjar1 · 30th May 2016, 08:55 PM

Just picked up these two flasks, both of which appear to be from the same general region. I am guessing sub-Sahara Africa but I could be very wrong. They are very large.....approx. 16" (40cm) long. Stretched and sewn leather over horn???, and both have the same type of weave decoration.
The first is with me now, but the second is yet to arrive so the pics of that are the seller's.
Any assistance as to origin etc would be appreciated.
