The lift will be out of service until Friday 28 June while we work on a replacement. The Museum may be noisier during these works, and we apologise for the inconvenience.
A horn with three anthropomorphic facial images carved on to the two flat edges. The two curved edges have a zoomorphic image carving, possibly a lizard. The pointed end of the horn has two further anthropomorphic facial images carved out. At the broad end are drilled four holes, two larger than the others and these have a metal wire looped through them. Two thirds of the way down are a further two large holes.
These objects are only a part of our collections, of which there are more than 350,000 objects. This information comes from our collections database. Some of this is incomplete and there may be errors. This part of the website is also still under construction, so there may be some fields repeated or incorrectly formatted information.
The database sometimes uses language taken from historical documents to help research, which may now appear outdated and even offensive. The database also includes information on objects that are considered secret or sacred by some communities.
