Thank you Jean-Marie Criel, this makes more sense, a pouch for the gun powder, the lid ids the upper part. A pity there is not another photo to show the back and its side to get an idea how much it would carry. No doubt it is a beautiful item and most attracktive to imagine it slipped onto a belt. Gr. Ingrid.
