In the days of muzzle-loading firearms, before pre-made cartridges, a powder horn or flask was an essential piece of equipment. It was a small container, typically made of wood, leather, or horn, designed to safely and conveniently carry gunpowder. These flasks had various shapes and sizes, from slender horns to pear-shaped wooden vessels with spouts for dispensing the powder. Some were even richly decorated, becoming works of art in their own right. The powder horn or flask provided storage for black powder, keeping it dry and accessible for reloading after every shot.
