Offered is an authentic, vintage Ram’s Horn Shofar, measuring approximately 8 inches along the outer curve. This piece features a beautiful, deep espresso to honey-amber finish achieved through a high-polish process. As an Ashkenazi-style instrument, it features the traditional compact curve, making it portable and capable of producing the clear, high-pitched "Tekiah" blasts required for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services.

Item Identification & Analysis

• Material: Authentic Ram’s Horn (Ovis aries).

• Style: Fully polished. Unlike "natural" shofars which retain the outer ridges of the horn, this has been ground and buffed to a high gloss, revealing the deep brown and translucent amber "marbling" characteristic of aged keratin.

• Age: This appears to be a vintage mid-20th century piece (circa 1950s–1970s). The wear on the mouthpiece (showing the inner bone-core structure) and the slight "crazing" or surface drying seen in photo 20260330_225022 suggest it has seasoned significantly compared to modern, factory-produced souvenirs.

• Condition: Good Vintage Condition. The horn remains structurally sound with no cracks through the body. There is light surface wear and minor chipping at the mouthpiece consistent with age and ritual use (please see macro photos for detail).
