Curved horn body carved with “Geo. Washington”, "Liberty Tree" and "D*J - 76", a folk art American eagle with a shield. One of the finest examples of American folk art on a powderhorn. The piece is dated ’76 for 1776. Horn also has a depiction of the tree. Two diminutive brass hangers on top of body, original, as carving leaves space around them. On the wood plug is a 19th century red and white label that reads: “Brought back from Revolution by Christopher Philhouer. Chas. A. Philhower.” Christopher Philhower was a Soldier in the New Jersey Militia Regiment. Measures 9 ¾ inches long. The horn shows evidence of an additional top of spout now lacking. Flat wooden plug nailed with period nails with significant bleeding around them on the horn. Some edges of engraving raised from age, originally had a brass powder spout, which is now missing.
