Subject:Carved Horn
Posted By: Kirby Wed, Feb 15, 2017 IP: 2601:0380:8103:4b20:
I purchased this carved horn in an estate auction and was looking for more information if anyone could help.

Thanks!
Kirby

Hi.
It looks like a water buffalo horn carved into a libation cup. Sometimes, they are sold as rhinoceros horn. The quality of the carving is quite rough, so probably quite modern
Kind regards
John
