Convoluted segmented  Ear Horn 19th C

 
A rare 19th century ear horn made from tin. It is of the convoluted style, but unusually has been made from the joining together of a series of bulbous segments, either as an aid to air conduction or for cosmetic effect. The finish is some form of black lacquer which is well maintained apart from a small area on the apex (see photo). The inside is also black although the opening of the trumpet has been silvered. The ear piece is made from metal. Size: wide 120 x high 200 mm
