Trumpet

Ezing, end-blown trumpet. A cylindrical bamboo tube to which a cow's horn has been attached. The tip of the horn has been removed and the pipe fixed into the resultant hole with a beeswax seal. The horn curves slightly and terminates in an irregular and angled lower rim. The tube may have been shortened, as the original documentation compiled by the collector describes an instrument with a tube six feet long.
