Wasco or Wishram Horn Bowl

The Wasco and Wishram peoples are Indigenous nations of the Columbia River Plateau region, historically residing along the Columbia River in present-day Oregon and Washington. Their horn bowls are masterworks of Native American material culture, expertly carved from mountain sheep horn and often adorned with intricate geometric and zoomorphic designs. These objects served both utilitarian and ceremonial purposes and are highly prized in ethnographic and Native American art markets.
