Powder Horn

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Powder horn by unknown artist. A curved, light-colored horn with darker areas on either end. The horn has a dark-colored rim at one end and a smaller, dark-colored tip at the other end. The horn has several circular, line-drawn scenes with details including people, animals, and buildings. There are also some illegible text and images etched into the horn between and around the circular scenes. The background of the image is light gray.
