About the Item
This rare and finely crafted mid-19th century Ojibwe powder horn, dating to around 1865, is an exceptional example of Eastern Woodlands Native American artistry. Originating from the Ojibwe people, this historic piece features intricate detailing that highlights both cultural significance and technical skill.
The horn is richly adorned with original dyed cloth and delicate hand-applied beadwork, reflecting the Ojibwe’s renowned tradition of decorative craftsmanship. Both functional and ceremonial, the powder horn would have been used to carry gunpowder, while also serving as a personal adornment and cultural identifier. The original strap, embellished with vibrant materials, enhances the piece’s visual impact and authenticity.
The horn itself measures approximately 5.25 inches wide by 2.5 inches high, with additional length from the decorated strap. Its compact yet sculptural form makes it an ideal display piece for collectors of 19th-century Native American artifacts or Eastern Woodlands material culture.
In good condition and beautifully preserved, this powder horn is a striking and historically important example of Ojibwe craft. Please contact us for a detailed condition report or additional images.
