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? http://www.rubylane.com/item/325771-GCE ... lex78andra
It would make sense as a cavalry, over the shoulder helicon.
