Portable containers of wood, horn, metal, leather, or ceramic used to hold the priming powder or gunpowder for firearms. They normally terminated in a metal nozzle which also served as a powder measure, closed by a plug or spring cap, and are often highly decorated. Prefer "powder horns" for those made from the horn of a cow or oxen.
