Buffalo Horn Begleri DA0145

A horn is the bony outgrowth on the head of certain animals such as the bull (any form of male bovine), goat, deer, etc. Throughout time it has been a symbol of power, glory, royalty and freedom.

The horn is an impressive and unique characteristic of animals. Since ancient times, horns have been a symbol of power and authority. This bony lump growing on the heads of bulls, goats, deer, and other animals represents the antiquity and majesty of these creatures.

The horn has played an important role in history and culture. Since ancient times, people have used horns to create instruments, weapons and jewellery. The image of a bull with its impressive horns is associated with the myth of the Minotaur and represents the interaction of man with nature.

Horn has also been associated with the concept of freedom. In ancient Greece, athletes who triumphed in competitions such as the Olympic Games were crowned with wreaths made of olive branches and horn. This symbol of honour and recognition represented both freedom and the superiority of man over nature.
