This Virginia inspired powder horn has an applied Axis deer antler tip and turned black walnut base plug and stopper. The base plug has an acorn finial which was common on Virginia powder horns. The horn is technically a left hand horn, but is so straight it could be easily carried either way. It was engraved assuming right hand carry. It is about 13.5″ around the outside curve (not including the stopper), 11.5″ finial to tip, and with a 2.12″ diameter base plug. The horn has been stained with ferric nitrate to give it a slightly yellow base. Fraktur type engraving has been applied to the horn and the engraved designs colored with drawing ink.
If you like this, perhaps you might be interested in some of my other fraktur such as my Birth/Baptismal/Marriage Certificates or paintings.
