EARLY CARVED POWDER HORN.
This horn measures approx. 13" in length and is 2 3/4" across the heavily rounded butt. The spout has an incised ring to aid in suspension of the horn, and the spout plug is intact. The engraving on the horn is in 4 lines and appears to have been done by someone of questionable literacy. The engraving appears to read "HCNRV * PRWN SALVACC PISH HORBOR 1807". CONDITION: horn shows light to moderate wear. The engraving is reasonably clear but difficult to interpret. PROVENANCE: From the Collection of James B. Taylor. (02-19898/BF). $400-700.
