Hi Corrado.

As Kubur says....Morocco. And, YES!! the most beautifully decorated one I've ever seen. Outstanding !!!! Wish it were in my collection.
Usually, these are seen with brass mountings (and occassionally brass/silver combination) with simple engraving as shown below.
But your's is over the top wonderful. Where did you find it ??? Curious minds want to know? LOL

As long as this horn is horn is being posted, this might be a good time to ask a question to some members. I notice on all these Moroccan horns (and others) that the majority of the engraving, decoration, etc. is always on the LEFT side of the horn. Does anyone know if there is a reason for the left vs right side of the horn?

Again, Corrado, that horn is a beauty!!!
