That's very cool and all, but note how different the overall shape is when compared to the original image; and the original didn't have horns!
BTW the image Steve posted is a crude modern re-do of the lovely original, a copy of which I have in front of me now: a watercolour of a Black Watch soldier (possibly a Sergeant) painted by Edward Dayes in 1790. The sporran has a sheep head on it with ears pointing out horizonally, and the body of the sporran tapers down to a V shape.
In any case, in my opinion, that sheep sporran is a notch or two down the awesomeness scale from the vintage sporran I wear
