The 20th century art piece is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The powder horn, a traditional hunting accessory used to carry gunpowder, has been transformed into a work of art with Towner's skillful engraving and colorful motifs. The crested design features a royal crest at the center, surrounded by intricate patterns and geometric shapes.
