Something to check: Is Moses the first “horned man” in the Bible? He comes down from the mountain, having seen the glory of God, with “horns” on his head, rays of glory radiating out. This may be the source of the horned man image used elsewhere, in the Psalms for instance: He has raised up my horn like a wild ox and God has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David. It may also be the source of the “horned crown” image; many crowns in antiquity and the middle ages were stylized horns, suggesting a radiation of glory from the head of the king.
