1860's pistol powder flask.

Can anyone identify this black powder pistol flask? I found it in a 1860's Eastern California mining camp. It appears to have a monkey embossed in it.

That is very cool. Definitely not your typical powder or shot flask design. I wonder if it is from an Asian country?

That is one beautiful relic, and a very nice piece of California history. Major kudos to you.
