Horny Thing ?

[mojjax]

I'm not sure if this was somthing some one was making and they never finished it ? The end thats covered with material has a solid piece of wood under it . There is a short piece of brass chain on the other end . What are those big oval holes for ? What is this ?

Hahahaha Yeah but, where does the, um...tobacco go!

i still think it's a percussion instrument!

sorry the pics a bit small but you can see the hole in the side if you really squint

My thought at first too, or maybe a chime. But, I couldn't find anything like it searching 'around' music.
I believe your pic Shaun, is of an abeng. African word for conch shell - I guess they sound the same.

looks like either a whistle that worked by swinging it in the air (i have seen them like that one but they had wood in the end) or a small drum.

Does the horn show that its burned around the holes?

If it does, travelers carried hot embers in horns from camp to camp... ( a WAG)

It's certainly easy enough to give it a try!

Looks comfortable. I wonder why it didnt catch on? There should be one in every household.

Its as good a guess as any.
