Horn decorations?

A pair of tips / covers / protectors or just decorations.

When I bought them I was hoping that they may have been for elephant tusk but looking inside there appears to be traces of horn so I guess they are for bulls or buffaloes.

Solid,thick brass weighing 360 and 380g each.

Any ideas of origin and are they for decoration or protection?
I have been searching the interweb and my old books but cannot find anything smilar.

As usual all comments welcome.

Regards
Roy
