The wide end of the horn is covered by cloth. The cloth is held in place by the twine. Hanging from the twine are six beaded strings consisting of brown, blue, red, and yellow glass beads and long, larger carved bone beads and skulls that culminate in a large ball made from corn husks, covered with a black paint and green powder pigment. The artist has signed the object in white "RENEE / STOUT 1990" as well as an artist's mark consisting of an "R" inside a square with a small "S" between the legs of the "R."
