This little charred cup made out of a cow's horn has been passed down through my husband's family, who were early settlers in what is now Stittsville, Ontario.
One day their log cabin burnt to the ground, and the horn cup was the only thing recovered from the ashes.
It probably was never very pretty on its best day. After its trip through the flames it was charred, scarred, and ugly, but for a hundred years it has spoken about endurance and survival.

This is a perfect choice for this challenge and very well painted, too!
