Fireman's Trumpet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Fireman's Trumpet by unknown artist shows a black and white photo of a tall, conical metal horn with a wide base that tapers to a narrow top. A long, thick, dark-colored cord or rope hangs down from the top of the horn, with a large tassel at the end. The horn appears to be made of metal, has a dark patina, and is positioned on a flat surface against a plain white background.
