19TH century, during which morocco was a haven for pirates preying on Mediterranean shipping. 4 ½” x 4 ¼” with chiseled copper body overlaid with white metal pierced in scrolling foliate motifs. Original black shoulder cord. The top with a full width “piano” hinge, now detached. Otherwise excellent and a fine display en suite with the powder horns and jambiyas of the period and of the same construction.
