Sh 757 B 1600 Hornlike tube or pipe

One large fragment and many smaller, most of which undoubtedly belonged originally to the object, of a hornshaped tube made of a fairly soft clay. No spots _ but apparently some metallic content which suggests that the piece is actually made of metal (on cursory examination). Cf. Sh 610-11 for similar type of object (though quite different clay).
