Description

Horn snuff container. Carved out of the tip of a polished near-black horn in the shape of a man, the arms and legs carved in shallow relief on the inner curve. The opening is in the crown of the head, elongated to suggest a head-dress. Mounted on a stand, the base does not belong to it. No stopper.
