A powder horn served as a container for gunpowder, generally made from cow, ox or buffalo horn, essential equipment for anyone using a muzzle-loading firearm.
Powder horns became genuinely widespread as firearms spread across Europe and its colonies from the 15th century onward, remaining standard equipment through the age of matchlock, flintlock and percussion weapons before self-contained cartridges made them obsolete.
