This powder horn has a curved body of about 13-1/2" including wooden butt. The body is green in color and has two iron staples near the spout for sling attachment. Tapered, turned, screw-tip spout with a series of relief rings. Just above the plug, there is an applied bone band of four relief rings. The convex, domed wooden plug is turned and has an iron staple in the center. CONDITION: Horn retains a dark patina overall. One side shows a raised grain surface, probably due to heat exposure or water. Spout screw-tip is very good with a couple minor losses and hairline cracks. Some minor losses to rings near plug. Plug retains a dark patina with one hairline crack. A very attractive and early Southern horn. PROVENANCE: Purchased from Johnsey Leef.
