goat horn

Billy's head spike

A goat horn is a horn from a goat—the bony, often curved projection growing from a goat's head.

Goat horns have been used historically as drinking vessels, musical instruments, and decorative objects.

In some traditions, they carry symbolic weight: the shofar, a Jewish ritual horn, is sometimes made from a ram or goat horn.
