SUPERB OLD MAORI CONCH SHELL TRUMPET - PUTATARA - IN GREAT WORKING ORDER - PRODUCES AN AMAZING TONE. 
Putatara are conch or triton shell trumpets that were used for signalling. They were typically made from New Zealand's small native conch shells (Charonia lampas rubicunda).The ends of the shells were neatly cut off, leaving a small aperture for trumpeting to which a wooden, often carved, mouthpiece is fixed - as with this example. Putatara were the possession of chiefs and often preserved as family heirlooms.There is no reserve on this wonderful instrument which measures 14" long.
