The lot features an American Frontier 19th Century heavily relief carved master powder horn. The piece is constructed of a long steer horn with silver capped end having a black forest like dark wood carved cap with porcelain knob handle. At the other end shows a silver band with iron ring which previously would have held the shoulder strap. The horn itself shows immensely detailed and threed dimensional relief carvings of leaves, grapes, a man playing a stringed instrument to a woman next to a tree, and a wreath surrounding a harp with crossed swords or sticks. The silver cap at the top is engraved with the initials “E.A.L.” and shows worn old hallmark touchmarks. The top and bottom band is presumably sterling silver and has not been tested. The top cap is glued to the horn and cannot be removed. This circa early to mid 1800’s piece would have held a large amount of powder and would have been used as the “master” to fill the smaller powder horns carried into the frontier on the individuals person. The horn measures 22” across by 12” across.
