Description
Powder flask, circa 1580-1600, (1881). Etching of a gilt bronze powder flask in the shape of a section of antler, made in Germany, possibly Nuremberg or Augsburg, in the late 16th century. Such flasks were used to carry gunpowder. This example is decorated with hunting scenes possibly based on designs by Jost Amman. From "The South Kensington Museum", a book of engraved illustrations, with descriptions, of the works of art in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). [Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, London, 1881]. Artist W Wise. (Photo by The Print Collector via Getty Images)
