Complicated shape emboss

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I was wondering if someone can point me how to recreate a shape like this. That is decreasing in size being tappered also. Any hints? 

Thanks in advance

I would use intersection of helical Coil surface and cone as Sweep Path, Mirror and Circular Pattern.

Attach your attempt here.
