reindeer antlers

Seasonal arctic crown

Reindeer antlers are the branching bony growths on a reindeer's head.

Unlike most deer species, both male and female reindeer grow antlers, which are shed and regrown annually.

The antlers appear in Christmas imagery, where Santa's reindeer are often depicted with elaborate racks: The decoration featured Rudolph with glittering reindeer antlers.
