Features a tall tapered vessel, open at the top, with two dramatically curved horn handles. The handles retain the natural variation of the horn, ranging from deep black and brown to translucent honey and warm tan. An additional contrasting section of horn join the segments. Secured to a layered mahogany wood base.

The form is based on the traditional loving cup or presentation trophy, but the entirely handmade horn construction makes this an unusual example. Rather than being a conventional silver trophy with horn accents, horn is the primary material throughout the cup, handles, and stem. See less
