Turned wooden plug with threaded removable knob in center. CONDITION: Horn retains a dark patina with some minor cracking and deterioration around plug, and one other area on main body which has some damage, probably caused by water. Plug shows some minor deterioration and scattered marks. A very attractive military related folk art powder horn.
