Horns of honour : and other studies in the by-ways of archaeology
Horns of Honour is an 1900 London study by the folklorist Frederick Thomas Elworthy, published by J. Murray, on horns and related charms in religion and folk-lore. Its pictures show hands drawn as carved or modelled objects, with fingers raised in the horn gesture, many bound with cords or decorated with symbols. A designer might take from them the mano cornuto hand gesture and the apotropaic amulet forms, rendered in clean line engraving.
