Description
North America, Spanish Colonial Period in Mexico, ca. mid 18th century CE. A flintlock musketeer's powder flask, made of a cow horn with a brass, spring operated powder cutoff. It also has its original steel belt clip, showing how it was worn. The horn surface has been toned to a faint yellow, a common practice for this time and place. It was made to be carried by a member of the Spanish infantry in the New World and is a rarer form to see than those from the British and French colonies in North America. Size: 3.45" W x 8.45" H (8.8 cm x 21.5 cm)
