I recently completed this horn. The theme on the horn is a mountain man, armed with only a Bowie knife, fighting for his life against a full-charging grizzly bear. I have high relief-carved the plug and the removable pouring tip of the working powder horn.
The white portion of the horn is scrimshawed with three vignettes: 1) the mountain-man knife fighting the grizzly bear; 2) a face of the snarling grizzly bear as he attacks the mountain man; and 3) the mountain man victoriously wearing the head of the grizzly bear as a hat.
