Powder Horn Large

Powder Horn Large

Add a strap to this Powder Horn Large to use it as an accessory or add it to your collection.  The crafter made it from a natural cow horn.  He added notches to the flange at the narrow end.  At the wide end, the crafter nailed in a rounded wood piece.  This piece has a nice twist to it that adds to its appeal.  There is no stopper for the narrow end.  One of a Kind!

Powder horns are containers that hold gunpowder. Historically, soldiers made them from cows, oxen or buffalo. Natural horn has the advantage of being waterproof and already hollow inside. Stoppers of wood or bone or horn were placed at each end. A soldier filled the with gunpowder at the large end, and dispensed powder from the smaller end.
Soldiers sometimes decorated theirs with carvings or inlays. They usually carried them with a long strap over their shoulder.

This Powder Horn Large measures about 16 inches long.  The base measures 3.5 inches x 2.75 inches. One of a Kind!
