A large but elegant high capacity supply horn. The black, chocolate and grey body is long and slender with a pronounced double twist for right-hand carry. The high-domed “beehive” dark walnut base has turned rings, incised lines and a hollowed interior to increase powder capacity. A brass tack finishes the dome. The spout is polished ebony, intricately turned, and unscrews for filling. Traditional twisted metal staples are secured to the tip and base for strap attachment.

The horn body is 13.5" along the back curve, the spout is 5”, and overall length from base finial to spout plug is 21". The base is 3.25” in diameter.

The cotton strap is hand-decorated and antiqued, with brass d-rings. The strap is secured to horn with leather thongs.
