Despite its ancient origins, the ram skull tattoo continues to be a popular and meaningful design choice for many people today. The Symbolism of Rams in Different Cultures: Ancient and Modern Meanings For starters, rams are male bighorn sheep. A strong argument can be made that male bighorn sheep are the perfect football mascot: They’re big, fast, tough and light on their feet. They even crash their heads together at dangerous speeds. 1. Los Angeles Is a More Fitting Locale for Rams Than St. Louis Herds are separated by gender. Females live in nursery herds, with five to 100 members, which include adult females and lambs of both genders. Male-only bachelor herds usually contain five to 50 rams at one time, and they sometimes engage in homosexual activity, according to ADW. Design ideas for ram skull tattoos can come from various sources, such as nature, art, and mythology. Ram skulls can be depicted realistically or abstractly, and inspiration can be drawn from various mythologies, including Greek, Celtic, and Egyptian. Those looking for a more natural inspiration can look at photographs and artwork that depict rams in their natural habitat, showcasing their beauty and strength.

Unlike the goats, both the ewes and rams have a long tail covered in wool, giving it a bushy appearance. Though the bushy tail looks beautiful, having an appendage in line with the anus can cause serious infections.This was the context for O’Keeffe’s bone imagery, which became a signature in the ’30s. Driving her Ford Model A across the desert, she would collect bones with a kind of reverence. For instance, there are high chances for flystrike or some parasitic infections. This is why owners of domesticated sheep, shorten the tails of sheep to avoid chances of infection. Though both goats and rams show sexual dimorphism, the size difference between the two remains the same. For instance, make rams are always larger and bulkier than male goats (irrespective of whether they are domesticated goats or wild goats). Hartley saw biographical significance in the work, adding that O’Keeffe had succeeded in “portraying the journey of her own inner states of being.” Having moved through the personal and artistic struggles and illness of the proceeding years, O’Keeffe and her art had been transformed—and had reached, in Hartley’s reading, a place of joy and transcendence, having “known the meaning of death of late and having returned with valiance to the meaning of life.” The fun stuff is when you see the rams fight. They do this because they are trying to determine who will be the dominant male in the group of rams. You will know they are fighting when you see these rams rear up on their hind legs and then run full speed into each other at speeds of up to 40 mph sometimes. When one of the rams walks away, he has submitted to the other and they will take over leadership of the group.

An important antecedent for the joining of rams’ heads and other figured elements in jewelry is the “Island Greek” or Lydian (perhaps) crescent-shaped gold pendant from Aydın (Tralles) of about 600 B.C. 7 In addition to rams’ heads, this pectoral pendant includes the figure of Potnia Theron with snakes, rosettes, and sun disks, and griffins’, lions’, and bulls’ heads. Potnia Theron is the divinity who oversees plant life, the creatures and demons of the earth, the chthonic realm, and the sky. The Aydın pendant thus might be read as the ontological statement of a divinity of great fecundity and protectiveness. Despite the difference in scale, the role of the ram here is similar to that of the ram protomes of the large stone perirrhanterion, the ritual purification basin, from the Isthmian sanctuary of Poseidon: the bowl is held up by women who stand on lions, holding them by leash and tail, interspersed with large rams’ heads. 8 A ritual object such as the seventh-century terracotta lamp from a Gela sanctuary (the rams alternate with female protomes) may be an excerpt of such an ontological declaration. 9 Museo Archeologico Regionale di Gela 7711 (from the extraurban sanctuary of Predio Sola, Gela): P.

When rams fight for the right to be the dominant male in the herd, the benefit is to have the right to mate with the females. This time comes in the fall and it is called the rut. Until they are around 3 years old, the males aren’t strong enough to mate.

If not done on time, there are high chances of the sheep succumbing to extreme heat, or they risk chances of parasitic skin infections. Excessive wool on their body can even impede their movement, and eventually, the sheep would die of starvation. Goat Fur An odd thing about their digestion process is the chewing of their own cud. This means they regurgitate their food that they have eaten and continue to chew on it. Offspring Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek 3571: Johansen 1994 Citation: Johansen, F. Greece in the Archaic Period.
