A powder horn, a container usually made from an animal horn, is used for carrying gunpowder. This example is engraved with a map of the Hudson valley and the forts from Albany to the Great Lakes, the British coat of arms, and the name of the owner, Jotham Bemus (1738-1786). Many early American powder horns were decorated by their owners. Others, like this horn, were the work of professional engravers.
