Hi All,

rickystl, ram's horn it may be but all the African powder horns I have seen (admittedly not many) seem to have the same type of openings as those from the USA (fill plug at the base of the horn with the horn tip cut off and capped as the pour spout). On my horn, the tip has been decorated but not cut off so the spout at the base of the horn serves for both filling and pouring.
Ibrahim al Balooshi, my horn has no leather covering. It is a dark brown to russet colored horn worn smooth by many years of use. The tactile feel is very much akin to the feel of an old iwisa.

Sincerely,
RobT
