Not sure if this is the proper subforum, but it's about a horn. I found this odd little horn with crude etchings with assorted Inuit and Yupik handicrafts at the local antique barn. It looks to me like something turned out to sell to tourists, and since the inside still had horn shavings in it I don't think it was ever used. The strap feels to me like moose. The horn has a bit of a yellow patina and underneath a considerable number of scrapes and scratches. These scratches are over the top of the etchings, at random angles and are covered by the patina. Therefore someone etched and did something with it sufficient to make the scratches. It then aged at least long enough to yellow up. How long that takes I don't know. I'm posting some pics here to see if anything looks familiar. The GIANT OCTOPUS is a new one to me LOL. That and the whaling scene look like something you'd see on scrimshaw ivory, not a powder horn. To me personally, if you've run into an OCTOPUS bit enough to warrant a wiff of roundball, the time has come to stop fishing for the day. Anyway any thoughts or opinions on this are welcomed. I just thought it looked strange enough to buy.
