Description
Mouthpiece of an unknown wind instrument. The mouthpiece is hand carved bone. The exterior is smooth and the facing shows a carved decoration of an acorn over a leaf. The bottom edge of the mouthpiece is angled and a small ridge is seen along its top edge - most likely for fitting into the body of the instrument. Handmade.
