I am assuming this is from a cow, but no idea how to age a horn like this etc. Any comments welcome. Western

It's a horn alright, but I don't think it's from a cow. Where was it found?
May not be that old either, but weathered for sure.

No other bones in area.. a homestead from the 1800s was nearby. There are also flakes etc in area.

Quito... yes I have no idea how long it would take for a horn to get like that. I wondered myself if it's even old. I have no idea. Thanks everyone for comments.

What you have there is a domestic cow/bull horn that has been laying out in the sun for five to ten years.
