What's with Cow-head sporrans?

[OC Richard]

A recent and strange trend in sporrans has been putting huge Highland cow heads on them.

There are furry cows



And metal cows





Ones with downward horns



Let's have a whole cow-head cantle! Why not?



True that there have been cow-heads on Highland accessories for at least 150 years, Clan MacLeod people, but those were far more restrained



More common were stag heads, being for example the badge of The Gordon Highlanders. Here's a sporran with a stag-head from MacLeay



But the new stag-head sporrans are as garish as the coo ones





This is quite a bit better IMHO
