-
Origin: The horn comes from the Gemsbok, not a ram or kudu (the two most common shofar sources in Jewish tradition).
-
Shape: Naturally long and straight, sometimes slightly curved, with a smooth taper toward the tip.
-
Appearance: Usually dark to light brown with possible natural ridges; can be polished for a glossy look or left more natural.
-
Use:
-
Kosher status: Typically not kosher for Jewish ritual use (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur), because Jewish law traditionally uses horns from kosher animals like rams or kudu.
-
Sizes: Can range from about 20 inches to over 40 inches depending on the horn’s natural length.
