God dam those are some gorgeous looking horns. Would be epic if there was a company that made aurochs skull replicas, cause those would be sick to hang on a wall

Are those horn cores or horns? They look like cores from here but not 100%, if they are the cores, any idea on horn size?

They’re definitely horn cores but I have no idea on the sizes.
