This horn is an old tenure horn. It was once the custom, when making a gift of land, instead of making out a deed of gift, to present some article of personal use, such as a knife, a drinking or hunting horn, and with it the manor or land, the recipient keeping the present, as a proof that the land was given him. This Pusey horn is said to have been given by King Knut to William Pewse, and on the silver-gilt band, to which are appended dog's legs and feet, is inscribed in Gothic letters "Kyng Knowde geve Wyllyam Pewse This home to holde by thy lond."

It is an ox horn, dark brown, and is 251/2 inches long, having a silver-gilt rim, and at the small end a hound's head, also of silver-gilt, which unscrews, thus enabling it to be used either as a drinking or hunting horn.

Ulph's horn is considered of somewhat later date, and is of ivory.
