Kind of quiet around this thread lately, so thought that I'd post a couple horn bottle containers with a little engraving on them. Small horn containers can be made with any cut-offs left over from a powder horn project and making them can be fun to both use at camp or just collecting. This size of horns could be used for salt or other spices! __ ALL ARE MADE FOR USE!
This bottle has a Mohawk Indian in a portrait pose from an old wood cut picture! __ The additional engraving is taken from 18th Century examples and the back of the horn has a folk art combined SUN/MOON face image.

This second horn container has a detailed engraving of a BLACK BEAR turning over a rock and looking for grubs. __ Except for the VVV border engraving, the back is left blank.
