Hi everyone.
This one was recently added to my collection.
It is a Persian Rhino powder horn with ivory end.
The metal parts are from iron.It comes with a islamic date 1046 ( 1632?).
All the comments are welcome!
Thanks in advance.

WOW is correct !! What a great find. At first, I thought it might be Caucassian. Their's and Persian horns seem to have similar build characteristics. But I believe it probably is Persian. Again, congratulations. A prime addition to a collection. Rick.
