Very Big Horn for Powder (?) - 7620

This huge carved horn is more than 20 inches long, 5 inches wide at the bottom and 3 inches wide at top with chased brass top and bottom and carrying ring. It was probably used as Master Horn containing powder for a whole military unit. Probably of European origin, early 19 C.
