At the base of the horn, there is also an extended lobe with three holes for the carrying strap attachment. CONDITION: Horn retains a pleasing honey patina, spout possibly shortened slightly. Wooden frame around glass cavity shows some cracks. Inscription somewhat faded due to age and light exposure.
