Powder Horn

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a powder horn titled "Powder Horn" by an unknown artist. The horn is curved with a wide end and a narrow end. The wide end has a dark-brown cap with three small holes on the right side and a darker brown patch on the left; the cap's edge on the right side appears cracked. The horn's body is primarily beige with darker areas near the cap and a darker section near the narrow end. The narrow end has a short, cylindrical piece of wood with stacked, rounded sections. A line runs around the horn where the horn's natural material and a second material meet. A lightly drawn image depicting a man on horseback appears on the horn's body. The background is light gray.
