Vintage Italian Horn Amulet - Corno with Sterling Silver Cap - AS IS

Vintage Italian Horn Corno Amulet Pendant Charm - Silver Cap - Needs Repair  This is a beautiful and intriguing vintage Italian horn, known as a cornicello or corno. This lucky talisman was a cherished piece in my late father's collection, and I am selling it to find it a new home.  The amulet is about 2 inches long and made of a dark, cool-to-the-touch material, possibly a stone like onyx or jet. It has a sleek, polished finish. The top is finished with a metal cap, possibly sterling silver, though it is not marked.  Condition Note: Please Read The top of the silver cap is missing the loop, which means it cannot currently be worn as a pendant. This piece is being sold as is and would be perfect for a collector, a jewelry maker for repair, or someone who appreciates its unique vintage charm. There is some patina on the silver cap due to its age.  I am not an expert on vintage jewelry or materials, but I have described the item to the best of my ability. I have no knowledge of the value, history or composition of the piece. Please look at all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
