This horn measures about 8-1/4 inches overall and retains its iron wire staples for a carrying strap at its neck and at the center bottom of the base plug. The spout is skillfully turned with an undulating profile of deep grooves, shallow incised rings and wide flange near the bottom, matching the upper body of the horn in deep brown color that on the horn moves into a brown with greenish tones, shading into a cream color with some stains near the bottom. The lower edge of the body has two incised rings, with the base plug showing a narrow raised ridge where it joins the body, followed by a groove and rounded step or flange, above which the two incised rings of the body are repeated. The plug then curves gently to a raised, chip-carved ring, with two more narrow rings below it, followed the final mound with dimple and staple.

The base plug is a pleasing light brown with some darker stains, light scratches and some rubs, along the raised ring near the body for instance. The body shows some expected stains, one pinhole on the outer curve below the spout, and a medium-size eye-shaped worm or insect hole in the inner curve further down. Please see our photos.

The turning of the spout is particularly attractive, as is the turning of the plug that is both restrained and ornamental in the use of the chip-carved ring near the staple.  [sr][ph:m]
