Description My dad has a lawn statue of a ram with horns that spiral in the wrong direction. I always found it a peculiar mistake.Β

Indeed, I wonder if it was sculpted this way intentionally.Β

I thought something seemed "off" about the depiction...
In all these years, I never noticed that rams never have horns that curl in that direction. Β I should revoke my Year of the Sheep zodiac. Β XD

I've searched the internet and found none. I guess there could have been a deformity like this at some point.Β 
But if you find a picture, let me know.Β

I learned something just now! I never realised goat horns had a right or wrong way for curling.
Thank you, Grasshopper!

your stuff is specially convincing as Neo-Antiquated stylization, the craftsmanship uniquely pins down the classical feel
