INDIAN ANKLE-RATTLES (napur or napura)

Etched brass rattles from India with bird head and tail at extremities. Played in pairs, usually by dancers. A cotton cord goes through the bird and attaches around the ankle and the second toe. With good age, these came from a mid-20th century ethnic antiques collection. Minor erosions in a few places on the larger rattle, otherwise excellent.

HORN SET WITH 8 CROOKS AND CASE, BY KAMERLING.

Paris, c. 1795-1800. The horn comes with its complete set of 8 original crooks together with lead pipe and a contemporary mouthpiece, as well as the original case.The interior of the bell is red enamel. Very good except for one slightly rubbed place on the interior of the bell.

There is a similar horn by the same maker at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (in less good condition), though even the personnel of the BFA have been unable to trace Kamerling.
