This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/17/2020
This rather small example measures about 10-1/2" across the bow and features a relief urn-shaped tip. The main body of the horn has a greenish hue to the top portion and is engraved in the center with a large British crest as well as a vacant cartouche, with a flower above. Around the bottom, there is a scene of a hunter shooting at a running buck with two dogs, as well as a doe and a fox in front of the buck. The horn shows three of the classic paintbrush shaped trees, associated with the Pointer Tree Carver, as well as what appears to be a small fort. CONDITION: Horn shows a mostly dark patina, with heavy carry wear in some areas, and some other scattered scratches and marks from use. Convex wooden plug retains its original hand-forged iron staple for strap attachment. DMG
