Small missing flakes of enamel to the edges of the horns, darkening of the patina through the hearing cone, otherwise with light surface wear indicative of age and use. |
comment | This is a great find, never seen anything like it - a must have item.The 7 horns are enamelled magnetic metal in beautiful faux tortoiseshell colours. Although expensive this is a phenomenal item. |
