REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA MICMAC DECORATED HORN OF ROBERT MERCER.Horn measures 14" overall with large panel with name "ROBERT MERCER". Horn originally belonged to a relative of Robert's as underneath Robert can be found remnants of original carving whose name starts with "JON". Maybe brother or other relative was killed and Robert inherited this finely decorated horn with the varying designs of double curves commonly utilized by Northeastern Micmac tribe. Micmac designs on horns are quite rare and this is a fine example that further research may identify the owners. SIZE: PROVENANCE: Ex-Jim Dressler Collection; Ex-Steve Fuller Collection; An extraordinary private estate collection of a distinguished Virginia gentleman. CONDITION: Very good overall. Good "as found" patina, original wood plug with carved swirl design. Accompanied by very good custom stand. 52751-44 JGS (2,000-3,000)
