Powder Flask

Bohemian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 375

The central figure, possibly the goddess of the hunt Diana or a representation of Fame, is surrounded by scenes of hunters pursuing game on foot and horseback. The use of ivory and the style of the ornament emulate earlier types of Baroque powder flasks.
