Two Little German Erzgebirge Horned Cows horn player inside of the copper handleJust a little carved pair of German Ergebirge cows because who can ever have too many little animals? I'd guess these two may have been part of a Noah's ark set, though maybe a barnyard set, and like that they feel very much like a couple, one a little taller and bigger, and with slightly larger dots for eyes! Approx 2" t x 2 3 4" l and in great condition, definitely with some age. The horns were carved from a separate piece of wood then attached.
