Mouth blown, hand painted, glass Christmas ornament from Merck Family's Old World Christmas.
Mountain sheep or mountain goat in gold color, horns curled back.
This animal is very sure-footed and agile in climbing steep mountain terrain. Found in western North America, males may engage in head-butting battles for domain. Native folklore tells of a brave Mountain Sheep, Na-gah, who climbed the highest peak and became the fixed and steadfast North Star.
