Lot 19: Powder Horn with Stand by: Steven Kelly

One of our new and aspiring artists, Steven Kelly has put together this beautiful tribute to the sacred Bison that once roamed both the plains of the West and the woods of the East. While bison still can be found west of the Mississippi, by the end of the 18th century, the Eastern Bison had already become a rare sight. 

Steven started with a bison horn from a bison raised in South Dakota and added a beautifully figured piece of Claro Walnut, a species native to North America, for the butt cap. The brass band was hand-hammered and has the perfect patina. At the tip of the horn, he added a turned and carved piece of cow horn and an oak stopper. This horn is truly a work of art! As a finishing touch, the stand made with live edge walnut with a cradle of leather lined bison horn makes the perfect way to display this horn in your home or office!
