This is an antique scrimshaw powder horn. The powder horn features a very finely hand engraved pictorial depicting Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck and fortune. The scrimshaw work shows immense precision and detail. It appears to have been signed with the maker's initials and marked "97" presumably for 1897. The strap is made from a heavy woven fiber. The powder horn is in good condition. It measures 2.5" in diameter and is 14.5" long. The strap is 2" x 50".
