Thank you. I really like the belt as well, the colors are very vibrant. It's nowhere near long enough to fit around my American sized gut, though. Definitely for a man of a smaller build.

I know it's nigh impossible to tell what animal a horn came from just from pictures, but I'm attaching some close ups for the heck of it. The horn tubules are rather pretty I think.

There note tubules there fibres, that's the difference.

The Yeminis work hard to enhance the structure of Buffalo to make it look more exotic.

The split & grain tells the story as well.

But its all keratin of a bovine. {very different structure though.}
