Jacob Sheep Skull #01635

This is the skull of a Jacob sheep!

The Jacob’s sheep is a rare polycerate (multiple-horned) spotted breed of sheep. It has been bred in England for at least 350 years, though its true origin is unknown. Jacob sheep may have as few as two to as many as six horns, though four is preferred. The horns may be black or striped – white is undesirable. Skulls of this breed are highly sought-after in collections.
This is an nice three-horned male example of the breed with beautiful dark horns. We are not sure if the fourth horn was broken off ante- or post-mortem, but it does appear to show some bone remodeling. The skull has slightly lesser bone quality, but is in great shape overall with nice teeth. Please review all pictures and description for condition.
