guy Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) An Iron Age war trumpet that's the first of its kind to have been found in England is set to fetch £3,000 at auction next month. The boar-headed wind instrument, known as a Carnyx, was once used to strike fear into soldiers in bloody battles almost 2,000 years ago. Picture: SWNS “Metal detectorist Ivan Bailey, 60, found the object lodged in a lump of clay while scanning a field in Bardwell in 2016.” https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/ancient-war-trumpet-discovered-in-suffolk-field-to-go-under-9227236/ https://www.eadt.co.uk/lifestyle/heritage/rare-celtic-warhorn-to-be-auctioned-8511634 interesting video of how a carnyx might have sounded: Edited November 24, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
