BidProwl Summary
Vintage lot with two silver-accented pieces: a 7" by 3.5" Tibetan conch horn with silver repousse metalwork of unknown verified age, plus a sterling silver horse-head letter opener marked .925 weighing 1.160 ozt with stainless steel blade in original box. Collectors and resellers pursuing ritual instruments and decorative silverware typically chase these lots for display value or melting weight on the silver components. Before bidding, verify the silver alloy percentage on the conch horn since only the letter opener is documented as .925, confirm there's no damage to the conch shell itself, and weigh both pieces to validate the stated ozt and assess total melt value.

Description from HiBid
Excellent selection of two vintage silver accented pieces.
- The first is a vintage Tibetan Conch Horn, a unique item for any collector. This item is traditionally blown in monastic rituals to summon deities and banish negative energies. This sacred wind instrument features a large naturally formed white conch shell adorned with what appears to be a silver alloy. The metalworking is done in a silver repousse formulation, back-hammering the metal to give a three-dimensional design on the front. This gives the metalwork a scrollwork like design.
Based upon general overview, the item looks very complete in its condition. Unable to verify the direct age of the item but easily could be of a vintage age with its design. Overall piece measures 7” H x 3.5” W.
- The second item is a vintage letter opener in case. The letter opener holds an ornate handle representing a horses head. The handle is marked ".925" recognizing that it is sterling silver. The blade of the opener is clearly marked "stainless steel". Item comes in a box measuring 10" H x 2" W. Total weight of letter opener is 1.160 ozt.
