What's the Horn?

What's the horn?

I really don't know my Chinese is not good enough to translate this. I'll find out and update this blip.

Update
These horns, from what I can gather, come from three kinds of animals ox, yak and a deer (mei hua lu) that's found in northern China. (No rhino horns these are a tad too small)

What will these medicines allegedly do for you?
a) Invigorate vital energy and refresh the spirit, tone the spleen and benefit the lungs.
b) Nourish blood and regulate menstruation, relieve pain and loosen the bowels.
c) Expel pathogenic wind and remove dampness, reduce swelling and ease pain.
d) Remove liver fire, soothe the veins and also loosen the bowels.


For sale on the corner of Shekou Xin Jie and Yu Cun Nan Lu, Shekou, Shenzhen.

Update 20 Feb. 2012.
Sale of these horns in China is illegal.
For that reason, there is no mention in writing of the horns being for sale anywhere here. They're just ornamentation. Well, sort of...

If the police where to question him he's safe these horns aren't for sale. Chinese law is incredibly grey and if one were to enter into negotiations to buy one of these horns I'm pretty sure he'd sell you one.
