(Kerʹen-hapʹpuch) [possibly, Horn of the Black (Eye) Paint [that is, a receptacle for makeup]].

The bluish-white metallic substance antimony produces a brilliant black color that was used by Oriental women of Biblical days to dye their eyelashes and perhaps their eyebrows, or it was used to color the edges of their eyelids, thus making the eyes appear large and lustrous.​—See 2Ki 9:30; Jer 4:30.
