Cylindrical hunting chopper, European tradition, 19th century

Descriptio Worked horn. Measures 14 x 7 cm. Cylindrical chopper with a side handle, designed as a functional, rustic object. Its exterior surface features irregularly arranged incisions and small scarifications. These marks, applied directly and spontaneously, reinforce its association with a practical use related to hunting. The material retains a natural patina with chromatic variations that indicate aging and continued use. The formal simplicity, combined with the direct incised decoration technique, places the piece within the 19th-century European craft tradition, where this type of container was valued for both its functionality and its ethnographic character.
