Condition: Overall excellent, period brass 'staple' repair. No restoration.
Comments: This is a massive ladle ingeniously formed from a curved mountain sheep horn. The horn would be softened by boiling and molded in a form.

The bowl is of considerable volume with a concave rim to accommodate expansion and contraction.
