Powder Horns at Metropolitan Museum
« on: January 15, 2016, 09:43:42 PM »
I hadn't noticed if this was ever posted before but there are several Powder Horns on the Metropolitan Museum web page.  Most of them have multiple higher resolution color photos that you can download.



It looked like the photos also fall under the Met's Open Access for Scholarly Content (OASC) via the Met's Website which means there are very few restrictions on usage.

Great website and pictures.  One question though!  The last two items are of horns(?) marked as "Primers".  Very odd looking to me and I have never seen anything like them.  Can somebody explain them?

Rick, they are very unique looking.  The site states that they are from India.... Thanks QWERTY, lots of great pics and info on some nice horns.
