When in Eritrea, I saw quite a few ZEBUS (hump-backed cattle) with absolutely massive horns. I will dig up some pictures and post them. Cheers, RON

Still looking for an appropriate picture. In the meantime, I made this drawing... I apologize for the poor quality, but I do hope that it is clear enough. This is what I believe is the source of the rather common three piece horn grip. One horn would provide the top and bottom part, while another one would provide the central part. The origin of the "hole" in the side should be pretty clear at this point. Cheers, RON
