Description
This is a polished powder horn, dated 1812-1814, with a wooden fitted end and cork screw. It also has a brass spout and red tassels on blue rope for carrying. It is believed to be from the Royal Artillery. Powder horns were common among soldiers at this time because they were used to keep gunpowder dry. Most soldiers used oxen or cow horns then carved and fitted them for use.
