Terracotta trumpet-shaped horn with polychrome slip decoration. One side is a narrow cylinder that opens up to a larger cylinder which gradually tapers and then flares out with a wide, flat ring around the opening. The narrow section of the body is orange, and the wider section is painted with wide dark red bands, cream-coloured lines, cream and orange diagonals and triangular patterns. The instrument has been broken and repaired, with areas of in-fill. Approximately half of the ring at the flared end is missing.
