curved horns

Bighorn sheep feature

Curved horns are horns that arc or bend rather than growing straight, characteristic of many bovids like rams, buffalo, and certain antelope.

The phrase appears in descriptions of animals, mythological creatures, and decorative motifs: a ram with massive curved horns, the devil's curved horns.

Curved horns may spiral, sweep backward, or curl outward depending on species.
