Rare giant buffalo horns

That is a pair of buffalo horns currently kept in the family of Mr. Ho Van Nam (born 1966), in village 2, Tra Thuy commune, Tra Bong district (Quang Ngai).

Mr. Nam said: This pair of buffalo horns was brought back by his biological father as a souvenir after the villagers held a buffalo stabbing festival more than 20 years ago.

The buffalo horns are of rare size.

Although he does not know its specific weight and size, according to Mr. Nam, this is the biggest local traditional buffalo breed he has ever seen.

Elder Ho Van Nhe (64 years old), in Tra Bui commune, same district, shook his head and said: "I have been to many villages in the province but I have never seen a place that preserves a pair of buffalo horns as big as Mr. Nam's."

The weight of this pair of horns is currently about 15kg. The length of each horn is more than 40cm and the distance between the two horn tips is nearly 80cm. The largest part of the horn is about 2 adult hand spans.

20 years, the horns are still quite intact.

After a long time of storage, many places on the horns have worn out...but still look quite intact.
