ram horns

Spiral cranial weapons

Ram horns are the curved, ridged horns of a male sheep, typically spiraling outward from the head.

They appear frequently in mythology, art, and costume design, associated with power, virility, and sometimes demonic imagery.

The distinctive spiral shape makes them a recognizable motif: The helmet featured ram horns on either side.

In anatomy and design, ram horns may describe any similar curved projections.
