This small, flat horn measures about 6-3/4" in length and is tapered and slightly flattened on front and back sides. There is a relief carved and checkered pattern just below the spout, as well as a relief repeating pattern of checkered squares just above the main body. Both sides are engraved with a patriotic Federal chicken eagle with a shield on its breast and clutching three arrows. The wooden plug is slightly convex and of figured maple, retained by four wooden pins. There is a square nail in the center. CONDITION: Very good, showing minor marks from use and a pleasing honey patina. PROVENANCE: Purchased from Vernon Gunnion.
