costrel (KOS-truhl, KAW-struhl) - n., a leather, earthenware, or wooden flask with two tabs, ears, or loops by which it can be suspended.
Usually carried on the belt or a cord. Also called a pilgrim bottle. Examples from Google images. The flask is usually flattened to make it jostle less. Used since the 14th century, from Middle French, from Old French costerel, diminutive of costier, something at the side, from Classical Latin costa, a rib.
