Description
Original South African horn made from animal horn. Works. The horns of cattle, sheep, goats, or antelope were probably the first lip reed instruments. The blowing horn or winding horn is a sound device by and large shaped like a horn or actually a cattle or other animal horn arranged to blow from a hole in the pointed end of it. Animal horn instruments were very important tools used on the summer pastures. They were blown to scare off predators, and also to enable long distance communication across the valley. Traditional horn signals were known by most people and the horn players could pass messages about lost cattle, predators, or just to say hello to their neighbors. 8" long and 3" wide and widest point. $8 DOMESTIC SHIPPING
