🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES (IF KNOWN):
Such cantimplora flasks were traditionally produced in Morocco and across North Africa, crafted by local workshops using mixed-metal overlay techniques. While sometimes used for water, snuff, or powder, many were produced as decorative and ceremonial objects. This piece, with its floral inlay and hanging leaf charms, reflects the Islamic art emphasis on botanical motifs and intricate metalwork. Comparable examples can be found in 19th-century Moroccan folk art collections and museum holdings of North African metalwork.
