North Carolina Powder Horn by Scott and Cathy Sibley

Nicely done horn measures 16 inches on the outside curve. This horn has 2 dogs, a deer, a pin wheel, the date 1771 and the name “Alamance” on it. Alamance was a battle fought in NC by a group called the regulators not against the crown but against the ruling colonial government over unfair taxation. I had never heard of this “war” before.
