Lot 10: Bag and Horn Set by Sarah Miller and Tim Sanner

For this year’s CLF Fundraising Auction, artists Sarah Miller and Tim Sanner have teamed up to create a unique bag and horn set that’s a work of art in its own right.

The rig is built around Miller’s possibles bag. The bag, which measures 6 x 7 inches, is made from goat hide and is entirely hand stitched with linen thread. This surprisingly roomy bag is gusseted, is fully lined with red stripe pillow ticking, and also features an interior pocket. The bag is nicely antiqued to resemble a centuries-old original, has a brass button closure, and features a pleasant trim of hand-cut fringe bordering the top. Miller’s bag also includes a small tin of homemade leather dressing made from bear grease and beeswax.

Rounding out the set is a fine powder horn by artist Tim Sanner. Sanner is a Master Horner in the prestigious Honourable Company of Horners, and his work is widely respected in the Longrifle Culture. His piece is a classic lobed horn, and features intricate and well-executed scrimshaw depicting the frontier forts of early Pennsylvania, as well as Forbes’ and Braddock’s roads.
