Powder Horn

Stanley Mazur

National Gallery of Art

Two large powder horns are displayed in the image. The horns vary in tones of brown with darker hues towards the ends and a subtle sheen on their surfaces. The top horn is positioned diagonally with the opening on the right side, while the bottom horn is similarly angled with the opening on the left side. The background is a plain, cream color accentuating the natural tones of the horns. The horns are placed parallel in the center of the image against the simple background.
