I am desperately trying to get any information on this awesome find. I have had this for about 2 years and have been sending inquires to several artifact professionals at various places to no avail. One problem could be I don't know it's origin. I found it in a cosmetic zip up bag in a old suitcase that I bought at a thrift store. I will describe it as best as I can...It appears to be very old. I believe it is a pouch made of small woven rope or thick string. It was probably soft at one time, but has become rather stiff. It has a crude wooden top, carved in the shape of a diamond, that screws into the top neck of the pouch. It contains some remnants of a fine brown powder. The photos describe better than I can. Hoping someone can help I.D. this. I think it's pretty cool. Well, damn can't figure out how to add photo files.. Tried down loading files, but then they dont show up to drag down in the area to attach.
