Ox Horn Cap

[romeo-1]

I found this earlier this week. It is an ox horn cap; prevents the oxen from gouging each other or the farmers. I found another one a couple weeks ago and had no idea what it was. It invoked a lively debate on the What is It forum...PBK found the picture which ended the debate (go figure).

Like the previous one I found this one is threaded to screw down on the oxen's horn and there is a hole for an anchor screw. I have seen this particular cap on oxen these days at agricultural shows so I knew what it was as soon as I dug it.
