This well stitched work of art features a single cavity pouch with two stitched leather stripes. The long shaped flap has a pierced and recessed red leather star above a heart with neat stitching around the edges. The red and white multi piped strap contains a period white and blue linen repair or extension at the top. Complete with a 10" York powder horn with turned spout and turned convex wooden plug. Suspended from the horn strap is an antler powder measure. CONDITION: Very good overall with a minor repair to left side of leather horn hanging strap. One area fraying on right side of linen strap towards pouch. Horn very good with a dark heavy patina. Red leather heart and star have generous traces of red surface color in protected areas. Some crazing but leather is pliable. It would be difficult to find a more decorative Pennsylvania folk art hunting bag. DMG
