    Antique Qing Dynasty Hunter's Powder Flask

    A Chinese lacquered wooden powder flask for a musketeer. Made of wood, bamboo, lacquer.

     
    Shaped like a horn, with on top of it a pair of Chinese guardian lions. Such lions, often in stone, are seen guarding the doors of imperial buildings and the houses of officials.
     
    One side has an openwork panel with designs of warriors in battle. The overall design is very pleasing, when viewed from the side you almost get a sense of motion.
    Through the openings, a green background is exposed. The whole is lacquered vermillion, with golden accents.
     
    While muskets of the rank and file are still found on the market from time to time, firearms and accessories belonging to the Qing elite are very rare. This powder horn is a very well-preserved example.
     
    18th or 19th century
     
    24 x 11 x 5 cm
     
    If there is interest, I will provide other details/information available prior to purchase.
