Gun Powder Flask

Christabel Scrymser

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, pear-shaped flask with an embossed pattern on its surface. The flask is likely made of metal and has a color palette of brown and copper. The surface appears aged and slightly tarnished. Positioned centrally in the frame, the flask is upright with its narrow spout pointing upwards, set against a plain, light beige background.
