African ivory trumpet, probably a type from West Africa (Baga?, Bini?).
An old side-blown trumpet made of ivory, with offset carved tip. On the inside of the tip is the oval mouthpiece. A very old piece, with convincing age patina (ivory naturally darkens with time). The colour ranges from honey yellow under the mouthpiece, where a carrying strap was attached for many years, to a dark red brown.
Only a few minor, superficial cracks due to age, and some insignificant losses to the underside.
Between the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century. L: c. 32 cm. (ME) ASA
