ram's horns

Biblical trumpet material

Ram's horns are the curved, spiral horns of a male sheep, often massive and coiled.

The shape appears widely in symbolism and design—from ancient ritual vessels to architectural ornaments.

In Jewish tradition, the shofar is a ram's horn blown as a ceremonial instrument.

The plural form typically describes the distinctive curved shape: The handles were carved like ram's horns.
