A horn is a pointed projection of the skin on the head of various animals, consisting  of a covering of horn – keratins and other proteins – surrounding a core of living bone. Horns usually have a curved or spiral shape, often with ridges or fluting.  Horns start to grow soon after birth, and continue to grow throughout the life of the animal. One pair of horns is usual, but two or more pairs occur in a few  wild species.

Musicians who play the horn are called horn players or hornists. Natural horn is the ancestor of a musical instrument popularly known as the french horn. The bugle is the smallest horn and made from either animal horn or metal. In order for the instrument to be played in different keys, crooks  - parts of curved tubes with different lengths and finger holes – valves – and detachable cup-shaped mouth pieces are inserted,  to change the length of the instrument and the sound and pitch.

Thus, a natural horn was transformed through hundreds of years, from a hunting instrument to a complicated orchestral musical instrument.

During hunts and battles natural horns were used as signaling devices to summon animals or to sound war cry. It was also a status symbol of rich and wealthy land owners.

Horns of the rare to sight Musk Ox from high altitudes of Himalaya is also known as head hunter warrior horn. It  is an insignia on the house of Nāga warrior from Nagaland as a head counter for killings from enemy tribes. It is used by native warriors as gun powder horn, and as a vessel for drinking and sharing wines and for dispensing ritual sacred water by tribal priests. It is also called mithuna Gemini horn of love and vigour after the musky odour of male musk which attracts females during mating season.

English: Engraved print of Marco Polo sheep from 1883 publishing of Brehms Tierleben (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Throughout history, rams have been important to mythological and religious concepts, associated with the ancient Gods from all over the world and venerated for its fertility and warlike attributes.

The shofar is mentioned often in the Hebrew Bible. Halakhic authorities hold that hearing a shofar on the radio or the Internet would not be valid to satisfy the mitzvah because “electronically reproduced sounds do not suffice for mitzvot that need hearing a specific natural sound. . .a shofar may be made from the horn of any animal from the Bovidae family except that of a cow  although a ram is preferable.

Marco Polo Ram’s Head – the headgear of Alexander the Great - is symbolic of victory, warrior attributes and fertility. 

Named after the 13 th century western explorer Marco Polo, who described the Ram for the first time, in his book –  Travels of Marco Polo. He spotted the Ram in the Pamir mountain ranges in Badakhshan province at an altitude of about 15,000 Ft (4800 Meters)

Ram is one of the Egypt’s best known God’s Temple animal. It is sacred in various civilizations and mythological concepts, from as back as the Mesopotamian (3000 BC) to the Egyptian and Greek civilizations and is seen as an incarnation of the God Jupiter – Ammon.

When Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, he visited the shrine of Ammon, by  dressing himself for the celebration, with the skin of ram and the horn as headgear. Since then, the horns of ram – horn of Ammon are shown like a crown in Alexander’s portraits and depicted on Alexander’s coinage.

Marco Polo Ram’s Head is a special skill qualification badge of the Vermont Army Mountain Warfare School of the United State Army.

Establishment of dominance through the fight during the rut season by mature male ram, is a peculiar behaviour and Marco Polo Ram is  symbolic of virile sensual behavior by strong human fertile men.

Total worldwide population was around 10,000 Rams (2003).

The Marco Polo sheep is considered the greatest trophy of Asia by most big game hunters.
