Powder Horn
The image shows a curved, yellow-brown horn with an engraved text on its surface. The horn is positioned with its narrow end pointing to the upper left corner and its wide end pointing to the lower right corner. The horn has a dark brown, cylindrical piece attached to its narrow end. A thin, brown leather strap wraps around the middle of the cylindrical piece. The horn's surface features engraved text in a foreign language, possibly Latin, and appears to be stitched with black thread along its edges. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The horn is titled "Powder Horn" and attributed to an unknown artist.
