Hunting horn
A hunting horn made of copper and silver plate inscribed with Swaine and Adeney. The huntsman uses a series of specific calls on a hunting horn to direct hounds and signal to the people on horses following the progress of the hunt. Only the huntsman carries a horn on behalf of the hunt, which is tucked into the front of a hunting coat when not in use. Hunt saboteurs also use hunting horns to distract and confuse the hounds and followers.
