The horn features very detailed engravings of the fort, realistic foliage, and the name if
    the
    fort itself below. The horn itself probably predates the trench art by several years, and was originally utilized in the Philippines in the late 1800's before it was scrimshawed. It is was skillfully decorated and has an immense amount of detail. It is an excellent example of Trench Art. Trench Art is defined by an decorative item created by a soldier, prisoners of war, or civilians where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its
    consequences. Please see the pictures provided to witness the amount of intricate workmanship on the horn. This powder horn would display well with period U.S. Military items from World War I & World War II and would be a rare addition to your collection.
