A decorated powderflask dating: Late 16th Century provenance: Germany, Elongated staghorn body with the characteristic forked base. The front depicting a man, in the typical iconography of the period, probably holding a shield and wearing voluminous puffed breeches adorned with scrolling foliage. The reverse bearing a very clearly defined mark, surmounted by an orb and cross, "CASPAR WEIGEL Me Fecit 1578". Iron nozzle with external spring closure, without patina. One of the two terminals at the base covered by an iron hilt, the other fitted with a horn plaque bearing the initials "LK" surmounted by a small crown. Four loops on the sides for a suspension rope. Belt hook on the reverse. The reservoir retains an old label of an Italian antiques dealer, inscribed "COMM. SILVIO FERRARA ANTIQUARIO GIOIELLIERE / VIA G. CONDOTTI ROMA". The iconography of the figure strongly recalls the flamboyant and extravagant attire worn by the Landsknechts.
