It also has a wonderful large labyrinth carved near the base on the obverse side and near it, a sailing ship or sloop. Also carved is a fort showing the walls and a soldier raising a sword, another soldier raising a flag and another one taking aim with his flintlock musket, \u00a0at a bird in a tree, with a squirrel running near it. The base of the horn is carved all around with a scallop design as well as the upper end nearing the neck. A nice carved recess border, \u00a0gives way to a long slender neck with three raised rings before the pouring spout. This is a well carved and constructed horn in excellent condition. This exact horn is pictured and described in the book; Accoutrements Vol. 1 by James R. Johnston, on page 206.<\/p>\n
