Summary
A large copper horn, once part of a gramophone. The curve of the bell has dents consistent with the passing of time. The main funnel of the horn has similar damage. The solder joint where the funnel joins the bell is intact, but the main seam running down the cone has an attempted repair with paper and plastic tape. The metal has verdigris consistent with the passage of time. There is a split ring attached adjacent to the seam that joins the bell to the funnel.
