Some help with this thing ... please
 

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

My thoughts exactly.

Best,
Robert

Ditto.

Thank you for the prompt enlightening guys. How it came from that region to my neck of the woods, go figure :confused:.
One thing i know for certain is that my wife doen't like it :shrug: .

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

Not a option; i am not even registered in there.
Well, whatever ...

Glad to help you with your marital difficulties, PM me if the wife is adamant.

Very nice piece, as you are of course aware.

Bob, you have PM
