This is a cool bugle horn with dark blue, almost black, draped ropes and tassles in a cast metal, possibly aluminum. It is definitely not cast iron because a magnet will not stick to it at all. This Sexton #576 wall art plaque is perfect home or office decor for early American, Civil War, Americana, and music themes. This piece is probably from the 70's. There is no date on it, and I cannot say with certainty when it was made, but that is my best guess.
The bugle is about 8-7/8" long, just about 6" tall and roughly 1" thick.
Overall Good Condition. There are a few nicks in the paint, but that gives it a little rustic charm. There are some globs of paint on the back of it where it apparently came in contact with wet paint. I don't know of any way to clean it off without possibly damaging the back, so I left it alone since it will not show from the front. There is also some sort of rough spot in the cast metal at the top of the back, but it cannot be seen from the front either. Both of these can be seen in the last photo.
