A curved, polished blowing horn with a leather carrying strap accompanies this group of animal carvings and natural specimens. Contrasting dark and translucent bands follow its curve. The horn is hollow throughout, with a cupped mouthpiece at its narrow end and a broad, flared bell. It measures approximately 11" long with a 2.5" opening. Two light-brown wooden animals, a tiger with dark painted stripes and an antelope, retain "Genuine Besmo Product - Hand Carved in Kenya" labels. Four darker wooden bird carvings include two birds with extended wings defined by incised feather lines, a rounded standing bird, and a tall bird bending its head downward. One bird is missing an inlaid eye, and another is missing one leg support. The group also includes an iridescent abalone shell, two spiral shells, a polished oval stone, and a small stone-topped ornament.
