Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an 18th / 19th century japanese Horagai Conch signal horn. The overall condition of the natural conch shell caronia tritonis appears to be very good and the mouthpiece and patina seems to be authentic. A lovely very collectable musical instrument. Auction results are usually within the price range listed above.
