Primer. Culture: Indian, Rajasthan. Dimensions: L. 9 5/8 in. (24.5 cm); D. 1 in. (2.5 cm); Wt. 2.8 oz. (79.4 g). Date: 18th century. A priming flask is used to hold and pour fine gun powder into the priming pan of a matchlock gun. They are produced from a range of materials, as seen here, including metal, horn, and ivory. Their decoration also varied and often showcased artistic ingenuity. This flask features the head of the makara, a crocodile-like creature of Hindu mythology, with a ram leaping from the creature's mouth. The makara design could be a reflection of its use in hunting crocodile, a popular pastime for the royal courts of Rajasthan.
