Reminds me of the wild antlers on the now extinct Irish Elk.

 


Scythian stag, c 5th Century BC. Leather antlers, wooden body, originally covered in gold leaf. Originally top of headdress, found in a burial chamber in the Altai mountains. 


Raymond McElroy and his assistant Charlie Coyle were out fishing in Ireland when they pulled up a massive 10,500-year-old extinct Irish elk skull.
