This is a typical southern mountain horn. It has a plain flat pine butt plug with a simple carved throat. Wood pins secure the butt plug. A steel staple in the butt plug allow you to suspend the horn using a simple knotted cord. Another cord can be tied around the throat. The stopper is hand turned from walnut. The horn and butt plug is colored using aqua fortis..
The horn was hand filed and scraped using period tools and techniques.
The horn is about 10 3/4" around the outside curve including the stopper with a butt plug about 2 1/2" in diameter. This is a left hand carry horn.
I am a member of the Honourable Company of Horners and per their code of ethics, each horn is marked on the bottom with my touch mark and the year of manufacture along with a serial number on some horns.
