Ancient flasks differently made to preserve food and water

Among a unique variety of antiquities, there is a collection of ancient flasks displayed at the museum of the Imam Hussain Shrine.

Some of these flasks are made of copper and others made of wood. They were presented to the Imam Hussain Shrine by Persian, Indian, and Afghan pilgrims.

The management of the museum said that there are writings on some of these flasks indicating the years of presenting them to the museum that range from 150-200 years.
