Oldest Conch shell horn instrument holds Palaeolithic Language?

This conch shell was found in the French Pyrenees in 1931 and is thought to possibly be as old as 46,000 year old. I can see a few very weak figurative possibilities here from my paleo language lexicon, and one very clear thumb shape (top right) I feel by manipulating the viewing angles I could easily get it to demonstrate the swan motif preening feathers, and possibly an elephant and even a chimp face, but without having the item in my hands, this is just supposition. 



You can hear the haunting sound of the worlds oldest wind instrument below.
