Good examples, David!

what purpose do you think they served other than decorative?
Function would be to protect the wooden end from mechanical damage as well as from excessive moisture when placed onto the ground.

Horn is tough and can be readily replaced when worn out.


The Baltimore show would be great to visit sometime...

Kai

Kai is right in his assessment. Horn is tough stuff. Sometimes on higher ranked pieces you might find metal like brass or steel/iron rapping the bottom.
