During the American Revolutionary War, the powder horn was
essential equipment for every soldier who used a firearm. The rifleman carried
his firelock, hunting pouch, and a horn to carry gunpowder. They were usually
made from cow or ox horn.
My version of this iconic tool is representative of the many
styles created before and during the Revolutionary War. Hand sculpted all
around and cast into Sterling Silver, mine gives special emphasis to the 2nd
Amendment by way of the numeral “2” inscribed on the back side of the pendant.
The pendant measures 1 and 3/8 inches in length and is
suspended from a 21 inch, 2mm leather cord secured with a Sterling Silver
clasp.
