This powder primer flask has two reservoir chambers joined in the middle. The priming powder was dispensed from the terminal in the form of an antelope’s head.
It's not clear from the description, was the second reservoir for the charge powder?
Would make sense, otherwise you'd have to fumble with a second flask during reload.

Are we certain it was not just cocaine?
