cow horns
Bull's curved weapons
Cow horns are the bony, permanent projections that grow from a cow's head, used historically for defense and display.
Unlike antlers, horns are never shed.
The term appears in contexts ranging from livestock management to musical instruments—drinking horns and powder horns were traditionally made from cattle horns.
In biodynamic agriculture, cow horns filled with preparations are buried as part of soil treatment rituals.
