Alexa, play: Iron Age war trumpets 🎺This war trumpet - known as the Deskford carnyx - dates back to 80-200AD. The Deskford carnyx is made from sheet bronze and brass. Brass is not native to Scotland, so it represents recycled Roman metal. Today only the head survives. But in 2016, Musician John Kenny played the replica and gave us an idea of what this ancient instrument would have sounded like. It’s a masterpiece of early Celtic art. Boar horn > Ear worm 🐗
