Dana, it’s not for me it belongs to our good friend Tommy. He has quiet a collection of really great horns..! He has a good eye for horns, and his collection bears proof of that statement.
Hope to see you at Jim’s show in Jan. “Good Lord Willing.”
Stay safe brother.

Kind Regards

Thanks for this question.
I found a lot of different lead oxide chemicals, which have various colors. Most of them are poisoning:
"Lead oxides are a group of inorganic compounds with formulas including lead (Pb) and oxygen (O).

Common lead oxides include:

Lead(II) oxide, PbO, litharge (red), massicot (yellow) Lead(II,IV) oxide, Pb3O4,  minium, red lead Lead dioxide (lead(IV) oxide), PbO2

Less common lead oxides are:

Lead(II,IV) oxide, Pb2O3, lead sesquioxide (reddish yellow)Pb12O19 (monoclinic, dark-brown or black crystals)The so-called black lead oxide, which is a mixture of PbO and fine-powdered metal Pb and used in the production of lead–acid batteries." (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_oxide)

Which of these chemicals have been used for painting or decoration of horns?

Keith Zimmerman:
Wow!  Thats an amazing find.
