Powder Horn

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The object is a curved, brown, horn-shaped item made from an animal horn. The horn is light brown with darker brown areas at the wider end. The surface of the horn has an etched design and text. It is smooth and shiny in some areas, and rough in others. The wider end of the horn has a small hole and appears to be rough and uneven. The narrower end of the horn is tapered to a small opening. The horn is lying on a plain gray background. The title of the image is "Powder Horn".
