Description from the seller
Caucasian traditional horn 'Kubachi' – 875 silver and natural horn (USSR, 1970s–80s)
Weight: 121 g
Length: 25.5 cm
Width: 5.5 cm
Height: 5.5 cm
This magnificent drinking horn comes from the legendary village of Kubachi, in the Republic of Daghestan (Caucasus), renowned throughout the Soviet territory for its millennia-old goldsmithing tradition. During the 1970s and 1980s, Daghestani masters produced some of the most refined decorative pieces in the USSR, and this horn is a perfect example of their craftsmanship.
The piece is crafted from natural cow horn, enriched with a mounting of solid silver 875, guaranteed by official contrasts from the Soviet era. The appliqués feature the classic Caucasian ornament engraved in silver, with geometric and vegetal motifs characteristic of Kubachi, renowned for their precision and deep cultural significance.
This type of horns was traditionally used in Daghestan and other regions of the Caucasus to drink wine, brandy, or traditional drinks during family celebrations, weddings, and ancestral rituals.
In addition to its functionality, it was a symbol of hospitality, nobility, and family pride.
Excellent overall condition, with authentic patina and minimal signs of use consistent with age. 100% original piece, without restorations.
Ideal piece for collectors of Soviet silver, Caucasian art, or ethnography. A decorative object with a strong visual presence and high cultural value.
