ram's horn
Spiraling bovine protrusion
A ram's horn is the curved, spiraling horn of a male sheep, often associated with the shofar, the ancient Jewish ritual instrument blown during religious observances like Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
The distinctive spiral shape has inspired architectural and decorative motifs, and the term sometimes describes anything with that characteristic curved form.
The sound of the ram's horn echoed through the synagogue.
