This may have no relevance at all, but this horn is coming to me from Plymouth UK. Apart from the Plymouth Fathers, Plymouth has a long history of trade, passengers and importation from the USA including the slave trade. Could I be lucky?

You can see what got me here, although a double row of beads, but the method is the same.

Hi Tim,
You may well be correct regarding First Nation origin. I do not know enough about their "equipment", but the phallic shape is quite common among African tribes.

Take care or you might see them everywhere.

Examples of the method of bead stitching. All pictures taken from AMNH data base. I cannot save the magnified image available on the AMNH web site but you can see what I am suggesting.
