horn-shaped

Like a tusk

Horn-shaped describes something curved and tapering like an animal horn—wide at one end, narrowing to a point at the other: horn-shaped pastries filled with cream, a horn-shaped peninsula jutting into the sea.

The shape evokes the horns of cattle, goats, or rams rather than the branching antlers of deer.
