Jeff Bibb Blowing Horn

This a Southwest Virginia, banded blowing horn, based on the old designs from the rural mountains. The horn measures 14" around the curve, and about 2.25" across the base. The bands and tip were taken directly from S.W. Virgina originals. The original horn had the raised and scalloped center band, which I found fascinating. The staple is hand-hammered, as many originals would have been.
