Description
This item looks like it might be some kind of thin horn or very thick leather. It has wood plugs at either end; very small nail heads are visible around the horn holding the wood in place. There are 2 holes on the concave side of the horn; one is about 5/8" across, and the other is about 1/16". There is a small nail on each wood end with a remmant of leather? still under it. The item is hand carved. Still readable is A. H. 177. There are 4 circles with curved lines like pieces cut for pie. There are other letters, but the deterioration of the item makes them unreadable. There are other "decorative" carvings including an S scroll on each side of the larger hole.
Does anyone hava an idea what this might be?
Thanks for the help. K
