[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 8179999, member: 84"]I found this today as it came off the truck at a friend's thrift store. He wanted $125 & I didn't argue because it is so different (I think he knows my weak spot!) & when I googled it I found Naga Morsarang medicine horn - but I've only found bronze & 1 in a museum made of horn & wood. And since mine is 1 piece and the tail doesn't open, I'm thinking I may have a tourist piece - except I can't find another like it? Whoever had it before cared about it - they put little pads to protect it when it was sat down. Can anyone tell me what i found? Age? Any thoughts/information would be greatly appreciated! First 2 photos I took at thrift store - the rest at home in the sunlight (I'm going to have to retake them out of direct sunlight; my camera phone doesn't take a clear pics there it seems.)
