Belt Carrier with Powder Flask and Pouch for Chargers
This flask is of the type carried by the guard (Trabantenleibgarde) of the Elector of Saxony. Carved in relief with a pikeman dressed in early seventeenth-century costume, the boxwood flask retains its gilt bronze mountings as well as a velvet-covered chamois pouch, silk braided carrier, and belt hook. The pouch features three compartments for paper cartridges and additional pockets for bullets and buckshot.
