    I think it’s maybe a stylized drinking horn? Wondering about how old this is and whether anyone recognizes the marks.
    Thank You!

    Which end opens for drinking from?

    The markings (and I use that term loosely) you found have no "silver" meaning that I know of.

    if the big end is closed it's a powder horn.....but just decorative..
