Some help with this thing ... please

[fernando]

The guy whom i bought this from thinks is African; i say, no way. I take it is Asian, but i know nothing about theses things; neither the engraving nor the beast where the horn came from. It measures 35 cms. in (straight) height, base not included.
Anyone familiar with this type of work ... please ?

Hello Fernando,

To me, it looks like water buffalo horn. As with respect to origin, my guess would be Vietnam or that area. :shrug:

Hopefully, somebody will be able to give you more accurate information!

Regards,

Marius

That is the kiss of death. Maybe you could sell it on ebay?
