Powder Horns made of bison horns were a popular battle accessory from the 18th century onward due to the rise in the military campaigns of the British Empire. Such horns were convenient to store gunpowder, which could be easily poured into rifles through the narrow end. The production of a gunpowder horn was inexpensive but they were a prized possession for soldiers, making it a lucrative industry for craftsmen.
