Powder Pouch

Howell Rosenbaum

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an ornately decorated flask as the main subject. The flask is mainly brown with metallic gold elements, featuring a detailed pattern resembling a seashell. It has a fixture at the top for sealing or pouring. The color palette is warm with earth tones like brown and gold. A long, thin strap attached to the flask forms a loop in the upper part of the image. The flask is oriented vertically in the center of the frame against a light gray background.
