This beauty came in today's mail, a denarius of Trajan with a seated Dacian on the reverse.

I was in Rome three months ago and saw Trajan's Column which depicts the war against, and victory over the Dacians, the event this coin also commemorates.

Interesting type
"Dejected" Dacian seated on a barbarian shield
I have a Trajan AE with two crossed shields one of which is similar
But I am left wondering what the small "device" below represents ?
Perhaps some type of horn ? It looks like it was intended to be recognized for what it was
But what is it ?

(cavity search ? )
