Sounds like a good idea, Mark

.
I will wait for it to be handled to me; will check the other side to see if there is another figure ... and then i will be back in both fora.

Hi 'Nando,

I do have seen similar horns in British and American auction catalogs, mostly dated 18th c.

They certainly are of Portuguese make, for colonies.

Very nice and charming patina, btw!

Best,
Michael
