The horn can be considered as one of the most beautiful raw material for manufacturing handicrafts. The colors in cow horn range from a white and cream to olive, brown, deep red and black shades. The horn is normally fairly clean in appearance with none of the crusty rough exterior common to rams horn. The Water Buffalo horn comes from India, where there are millions of the animals, fully or partly domesticated and kept for milk, meat and drought purposes. Indian buffalo are referred to as river type animals and have horns that are quite adequate for craft making purposes in respect of their overall bulk. Buffalo horn is extremely dense and comes in two varieties: black and colored. The colored variety is softer and is undeniably more attractive than the black type, offering interesting color combinations from creamy white through to green, brown and gun metal grey, often in the same horn. The horn comes as a solid material with no inner core or cavities and there is a natural bend that remains in one plane.
