Antique Brass Ottoman Empire Palaska Gun Powder Cartridge Box Military Container
Details
This listing is for an antique metal cartridge box from the Balkans. Such belt boxes were used throughout the Ottoman empire including in Greece, Macedonia, Turkey, and Albania. Worn by men both with military uniforms and as an element of regional folk costume. This is the first time I have had one of these for sale and it appears to be a wonderful example. It looks to be all original, but please study the photos carefully and ask questions if you have specific concerns that I do not address as I am not an expert in this specific area of Ottoman dress. Wonderful patina and fully functional lid that closes tightly. A unique piece of Ottoman history and a fine addition to your collection.
Size: You can see the measurements on the photos.
