A rare and unusual piece.  Cannot say much about this piece because I have not come across any information in doing research.  Although it looks like a trumpet or some sort of musical instrument, it could have been used as a funnel or hearing apparatus.  Measures approximately 10 inches tall, and a little over 4 inches wide at the larger end.  Detailed painting portrays four smiling individuals.  In wonderful condition with very minor scuffing.  Purchased from Tel Aviv, Israel where it was part of an impressive collection.
