LUR

also spelled Lure, bronze horn, or trumpet, found in prehistoric Scandinavian excavations. It has a conical bore, is 5 to 8 feet (1.5 to 2.5 m) long in a bent S-shape resembling a mammoth tusk, and ends in a flat metal disk. The mouthpiece of the lur is permanently affixed. Lurs are usually found in pairs and were probably played ritually.
