Today’s object is a massive Texas Longhorn skull. Its pale bone gleams under the lights, the horns stretching wide—a spectacular sight to behold. Today our artifact tells a story of an animal that faced importation, near extinction and a revival of a species, making it one of Texas’ official state symbols.
