bicorn
Admiral's cocked hat
Bicorn describes something with two horns or horn-like projections.
The word appears most often in reference to the bicorn hat—the distinctive two-pointed headgear worn by Napoleon and other military officers of his era, with peaks projecting from front and back or side to side.
In anatomy, a bicorn uterus has two horn-shaped extensions.
