Keilim11: 7
[ז] קֶרֶן, עֲגֻלָּה — טְמֵאָה, וּפְשׁוּטָה — טְהוֹרָה. אִם הָיְתָה מְצֻפִּית שֶׁלָּהּ שֶׁל מַתֶּכֶת — טְמֵאָה. הַקַּב שֶׁלָּהּ — רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין. וּבִשְׁעַת חִבּוּרָן — הַכֹּל טָמֵא. כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ, קְנֵי מְנוֹרָה — טְהוֹרִין. הַפֶּרַח וְהַבָּסִיס — טְמֵאִים. וּבִשְׁעַת חִבּוּרָן — הַכֹּל טָמֵא.
A horn that is curved is tamei. But a straight [horn] is tahor. If its mouthpiece was of metal, it is tamei. [Regarding] its bell, R’ Tarfon rules it tamei, but the Sages rule it tahor. And when they are joined together, everything is tamei. Similarly, the branches of a candelabra are tahor. But the perach and the base [of the candelabra] are tamei. And when they are joined together, everything is tamei.
