Saxon German Flattened Horn Powder Flask

$875.00

Dated 1590. Body only, the mounts likely stripped for the scrap drives of WWII. 10" length with characteristic Saxon "roped scales" edge decoration. One side with Bacchanalian semi-erotic scene of a couple in alcohol-fueled romance and a figure beyond pouring more. The other with compass work and central armorial device surrounded by a band inscribed "Frater Joannes Wihoyone 1590". "Frater" is Latin for monk, thus this is the flask of a monk whose identity is lost to history. Great project for the amateur restorer as the mounts are basically fabricated from sheet metal.
