| This horn was sold to me as being used for giving animals medicine but I suspect from the carved shape of the open end that it was used for a scoop, possibly for tea or other herbs. The carving is of the front of a horse with his feet on top of a dragons head. The horn has a translucent quality which makes it more valuable in Chinese Ethnic Minority societies. The closed carved end is darkened from years of being handled. Being 6.5" long and in excellant condition, it is a fine ethnographic artifact from the disappearing nomadic ethnic culture of Mongolia. | ||||||||
