Athina, Greece

Palaska made of silver and gold-plated, for storing cartridges. It bears a decoration that combines floral and armorial representations, which, as if forming a shield, are articulated radially around the centre of the obverse. There are representations of axes, spears, banners, as well as two cannons, of which the right one is shown exploding.
