Nominally 10" in overall length, oval in cross section measuring 2.88"x2.34" at the base. Carved main body of the horn is roughly 6" in length with scalloped transitions to the roughly 4.5" spout with a bulbous baluster turned tip and crudely carved wood plug. The main body of the horn is carved with three sailing ships, the larger central image being of a two-masted brig with the smaller images being in the style of single masted sloop rigged cutters. The body of the horn is further decorated with rope motifs, intertwined Celtic style knots and both curved and angular geometric patterns. Below the transition to the spout the month APRIL is carved over the initials TL. The same initials are repeated on horizontally along the outside edge of the horn followed by the date 1766. The initials OP are carved above the larger of the three ships. An old copper wire staple provides the attachment point for a sling or rope at the base of the horn and old twine is attached to that and tied to the spout. The oval wood base plug is attached with crudely made, heavily oxidized iron finishing nails. A lovely horn dated to the decade before the American Revolution.
