Antelope horn horse bit fitting

Weird and wonderful pack horse fitting made from goat or antelope horn. I sourced this in Northern Thailand recently and is probably of Jiin Haw origins, (Muslim Chinese traders), who have plied the old caravan trade routes from Yunnan to Chiang Mai for hundreds of years. Difficult to date something like this- definitely old, lets say -80 years. L: 14cm/5.5in. Nice worn patina, there is a burned hole on this, don’t know if it was for a reason or accidental.
