A carved horn with a wooden base. Used as a gaxapu, its surface is decorated with various motifs. A man riding a horse, vegetals, and flowers are part of the decorative program, which concludes with two animals: a peacock and a snake. The latter takes the shape of an "S" to begin the inscription "Soy de Jose Cavallin" ("I belong to Jose Cavallin").
