Ancient in tradition and still in use today, these genuine conch shell horns are used to call forth the deities. On the large one pictured, the metal "flag" is embossed with a golden dragon and the Eight Auspicious signs. Curl your hand into the shell itself to hold it, and blow the horn, for the most ancient sound you can imagine. Use it with the "flag" pointing to the sky. The medium version does not have the metal "flag", But the sound is still marvelous... The small one is used on the shrine for the offering of sound. It cannot make a strong sound when blown.
