Horanāva
This Horanāva has a conical body and seven frontal tone holes, but no thumb hole. The body is made of buffalo horn, the funnel of bronze. At the tip there is a brass casing with a small eyelet, which has its counterpart on the pipe support with a small lip disc. A brass amulet hangs from another eyelet on the upper edge of the funnel. This represents the casket in which a molar tooth of Buddha, one of the most sacred relics of Buddhism, is kept in the temple of Kandy.
