Horn (Danish: vesselhorn) are common features in crests in Scandinavian and German heraldry, although rare in other heraldic traditions. As these horns, almost always in a pair,[1] were often drawn with an open ring at the tip, they have sometimes been altered[further explanation needed] into elephant trunks or trumpets.[citation needed]
