horns_of of,the_altar
The top corners of the central altar at Bethel (and others) were shaped like bull horns. These horns were a symbol of the strength of the god that was worshiped there. The horns were considered the most sacred and powerful part of the altar. You could include this information in a footnote if it would be helpful to your readers.
