Horns were ideal containers for gunpowder, not only for soldiers, but also for miners and quarrymen, being inflammable, waterproof, and easy to fill at the wide end and empty at the tip. They are also light to carry and their curve fits comfortably against the body. But a powder horn was more than a tool: it evolved into a vehicle for expression. Those shown exemplify three types of powder horn: plain, engraved, and decorated with silver mounts. They also demonstrate a range in size and colour.
