#TBT: Native Flasks

Photo copyright Aji, 2014; all rights reserved.

It's Throwback Thursday at The NDN Silver Blog, and today, it's a look at an old-fashioned staple of daily life: the flask.

Water, tobacco, medicine: They came in all shapes and sizes and materials, and they were carried as a matter of course. They're still used today.

Come and take a look. You'll see a gorgeous close-up shot of the traditional micaceous flask shown above, one made years ago by Wings's sister. You'll also see some stunning photos of Wings's own award-winning work, miniature flasks rendered in sterling silver.

Shares via the social-media buttons at the bottom of the post itself, and of Wings's main page, are welcomed with thanks from both of us.
