A curved, embossed steel hunting horn tapers from a flat mouthpiece to a wide, flared bell. Winding around the upper tube is a spiral band of small leaves. At its center, a textured ring features a small, projecting loop. The lower section is densely worked with scrolling vines and curling leaves in high relief. Dark, weathered steel emphasizes the intricate floral patterns as they expand toward the bell opening.
