These horns were made by a man who exhibited them at a historical society event in Conestoga, PA. He wanted to make them as, maybe, a Northwest Indian might have done. The large travel/storage horn is meant to represent an orca. The carving on the small "daily carry" horn is very nice. The priming flask is a particular favorite. The powder measure is meant to emulate narwhal horn.
Sorry for the photo quality. Combination of my eyes and my cel phone.

"..as a Northwest Indian might have done". I haven't given it much thought but I would guess Indians did carry horns too.
