The instrument features a curved, tapering brass body terminating in a flared bell with a rolled rim. A circular maker mark is stamped onto the bell, reading TOURNIER BREVETÉ 4 BOULEVARD ST MARTIN PARIS. The horn is fitted with a black composition mouthpiece, likely made of ebonite or horn. Two integrated brass suspension loops are brazed to the body for the attachment of a lanyard or carrying cord.
