A slender,
early 19th century styled horn, with elements
of a Tansel-style fishmouth carving coupled with
an turned maple screw tip. The body has a pronounced
twist for right-side carry and is dyed a dark
chocolate. Engraved lines accent the front and
rear edges of the body.
The base is turned
maple burl, with a copper strap staple. The base
and spout are secured with copper tacks.
The
horn body is 9" along the back curve,
the spout is 3” and overall length from
base to spout plug is 13”. The base is
2.5” in diameter.
