    Early 19th century. This beautiful 16" horn with a 4" wood base has border designs of concentric circles at the base. The body is incise carved with half circles centering a panel depicting three masted fishing vessels with several birds and a large codfish. The spout retains the original carved plug. This horn has been well-preserved with a beautifully patinated surface. The horn presents a well executed and attractive folk art appearance in "attic condition", as you will ever find. Originally sold by Ron Bourgeault at Northeast Auctions Oct 25, 2008 where it was described as: “fresh from Fish Family” estate of New Hampshire. SIZE: 16" l x 3-1/2" dia.   FFO1863D
