Wooden powder flask with bone inlay, the surface richly decorated with geometric and foliate motifs. The flat, tapering body is fitted with a narrow spout and iron mounts, likely intended for suspension. Such flasks formed part of the standard equipment of musketeers and hunters, serving to carry pre-measured charges of powder for early firearms. The refined bone inlay suggests that this example was conceived not only as a functional implement but also as a display of craftsmanship, characteristic of Nuremberg workshops of the 16th century.
Poire à poudre en bois incrustée d’os, la surface richement décorée de motifs géométriques et végétaux. Le corps plat et effilé est doté d’un étroit goulot ainsi que de montures en fer, probablement destinées à la suspension. De telles poires à poudre faisaient partie de l’équipement des mousquetaires et des chasseurs, servant à transporter des charges de poudre mesurées pour les premières armes à feu. La finesse de l’incrustation d’os indique que cet exemplaire était conçu non seulement comme un objet fonctionnel, mais aussi comme une démonstration de savoir-faire, caractéristique des ateliers de Nuremberg du XVIᵉ siècle.
Houten kruithoorn met beeninleg, waarvan het oppervlak rijk is versierd met geometrische en florale motieven. Het platte, taps toelopende lichaam is voorzien van een smalle tuit en ijzeren beslag, vermoedelijk bestemd voor ophanging. Dergelijke kruithoorns maakten deel uit van de uitrusting van musketiers en jagers en dienden voor het meenemen van afgemeten kruitladingen voor vroege vuurwapens. De verfijnde beeninleg wijst erop dat dit exemplaar niet alleen als functioneel object was bedoeld, maar tevens als toonbeeld van vakmanschap, kenmerkend voor de Neurenbergse ateliers van de 16de eeuw.
Hölzerne Pulverflasche mit Knocheneinlagen, deren Oberfläche reich mit geometrischen und pflanzlichen Motiven verziert ist. Der flache, sich verjüngende Korpus ist mit einem schmalen Ausguss sowie Eisenbeschlägen versehen, die vermutlich der Aufhängung dienten. Solche Pulverflaschen gehörten zur Ausrüstung von Musketieren und Jägern und dienten zur Aufnahme abgemessener Pulverladungen für frühe Feuerwaffen. Die feine Knocheneinlegearbeit deutet darauf hin, dass dieses Stück nicht nur als Gebrauchsgegenstand, sondern auch als Ausdruck handwerklicher Kunstfertigkeit gedacht war, wie sie für die Nürnberger Werkstätten des 16. Jahrhunderts charakteristisch ist. -
