RnB015 “Carnyx Horn Player”

The ‘Carnyx’ was an ancient Celtic war trumpet used between 300 BC and 200 AD.  The instrument and its player accompanied warriors into battle.

The mournful sound of this ancient horn was said to both inspire its followers as well as strike fear into its enemies.  It was considered a great honour among the warriors to be chosen to both play and carry the richly decorated tribal Carnyx into battle.
