Anybody know if this little porcelain statue is in any way representing a real instrument, or is it just another poor artist/craftsman's interpretation of what he was told a helicon might look like?

I'm not paying $135 to find out how good it is.

put a decimal point between the 1 and 3 and the price might be right.

It would make sense as a cavalry, over the shoulder helicon.
