Moorish powder flask?

I'm trying to find information on this piece but have had zero leads. I was told it was Moorish and an antique. I can't confirm either of those statements. It was purchased at a gun show some years ago. It's brass, and appears to have had black powder in it, but that really doesn't mean anything.... there are no makers marks on it anywhere. I'm wondering if it's a reproduction...

 

It resembles a Navajo tobacco flask ........although I know it's not.....but that's all I got....

 

That's further than I got. Thanks!

 

maybe try looking towards Moroccan.....or Indo- Persian brass flask...???

 

I will do just that!

 

I found this. Emailed the guy and he says it's from the 17 or 1800s but that's all he can tell me.

 

Too bad they polished the patina off it
