Ohotniche Rogi sounding D 1873 - 1889

This brass hunting horn, known as an *Ohotniche Rogi*, was crafted by Nicolas N. Fedorov between 1873 and 1889. The horn, with its slightly bent shape and smooth, worn finish, is a testament to its use in the field. Its simple design is a stark contrast to the intricate carvings often found on hunting horns, reflecting the practicality of its purpose. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this *Ohotniche Rogi* offers a glimpse into the world of Russian hunting practices in the late 19th century.
