18th Century Tibetan Silver & Turquoise Conch Shell

This antique Tibetan Conch shell horn is covered with chased and engraved silver patterns, including bird, animal and plant motifs. It is also covered with hundreds of pieces of Tibetan turquoise in an wonderfully detailed pattern. It measures about 9 1/2 inches in length and about 4 inches in diameter. It is relatively heavy due to all of the chased silver and stone work.

It dates from the 18th century and also has silver and coral cabachons in a traditional three point design.

It is in excellent condition, except for a small crimp in the silver below the bird (see closeup photo).
