Powder horn. The hollow, curved horn is open at its small end. The wide end is closed off with a round wooden stopper, held in place with 8 evenly spaced round-headed nails bored through the horn. A large nail emerges from the centre of the end, around which is knotted a twisted cotton cord that is tied to a thin string and wrapped around the narrow end of the horn between two carved rings. There is a large light red contact stain on one side of the horn and part of the string.
