介绍（中）	"demilune"这个富有诗意的名字描述了这种乐器的轮廓，它是狩猎号角最早的形式之一。它的新月形与动物角和象牙等天然材料制成的乐器相呼应。这种喇叭的黄铜主体似乎是由一块薄片形成的，该薄片经过成形并与一条纵向接缝连接，该接缝在钟形区域突出，然后沿乐器的剩余长度形成对接。在仪器表面的抛光和锤击痕迹中可以看到制造者的手。钟的内部有黑色颜料的痕迹。该乐器的琴身上有三个黄铜环，两个安装在环绕琴身管的套圈上，一个安装在钟形花环上，用于连接到帽带或背带上。一个复杂的锯齿状花环装饰并加固了钟。它上面印着一个重复的花朵图案，并浮雕着制造商的标志，其中包括一只站在首字母RC上回头看的雄鹿。整体以卡通画的方式包含在一个圆圈中。在制造商标记正上方的钟体上印有VERNON字样，可能是指制造地几个世纪以来，像这样的喇叭一直是流行的信号乐器，它们的使用经常出现在挂毯和其他同期艺术中（见大都会博物馆挂毯50.145.4）。与奥列芬特一样，这些新月形的喇叭也是重要的身份徽章，因此经常出现在纹章和徽章中。
介绍（英）	The poetic name "demilune" describes the profile of this instrument, which is one of the earliest forms of the hunting horn. Its crescent shape echoes instruments made of natural materials such as animal horn and elephant tusk. The brass body of this horn appears to have been formed from a single sheet that was shaped and joined with a longitudinal seam that is tabbed in the area of the bell before becoming a butt join along the remaining length of the instrument. The maker’s hand is visible in burnishing and hammer marks on the instrument’s surface. The bell interior bears traces of black pigment. The body of the instrument bears three brass rings, two mounted on ferrules encircling the body tubing and one mounted on the bell garland, for attachment to a baldric or carrying strap. An intricately crenelated garland adorns and strengthens the bell. It is stamped with a repeating pattern of flowers and embossed with the maker’s mark comprising a stag looking over its shoulder standing atop the initials RC. The whole is contained in a circle in the manner of a cartouche. Stamped on the bell body immediately above the maker’s mark is the text VERNON, possibly referring to place of manufacture. Horns like this have been popular signalling instruments for centuries and their use is often depicted in tapestries and other contemporaneous art (see Met Museum tapestry 50.145.4). Like oliphants, these crescent-shaped horns were important badges of status and as such, often appear in heraldic devices and crests.
