The multiple profiled wall rejuvenates somewhat and turns at the top into a slightly vaulted ground in which a pattern of extremely fine pits is punched. A naturalistic tree roots on this, the trunk of which is punched with a pattern of fine grooves. On the ground there are some imposed grasses and a plant around the tree. The crown of the tree with pointed serrated leaves comprises the dense underside of the frame in which the horn is clamped. The tree is held by a dragon and a lion, both standing on the hind legs and with twisted torso. The upper part of the frame is opened on both sides with asymmetrical leaf vines. It is crowned by the Hollandse Leeuw, standing on two lying coats of arms of the city of Amsterdam, both of which are worn by a bird claw (symbol of the Kloveniersgilde). The frame has multiple profiled edges, as well as the wide silver band around the drinking mouth of the Hoorn, which is finished on the underside with a spent cartel edge. The silver frame at the tip of the horn has the shape of a dragon head, the neck of which is engraved with flower vines. This frame is closed by an imposed cartel edge. Amsterdam silver (metal).
