The significance of the ram is its relationship to the ram we read about on Rosh Hashanah that was sacrificed by Abraham. This is the ram from whom, symbolically, the shofar came. Yet despite how much sense this iconography makes, I am not aware of other horns like this. If you know of any, please bring them to my attention.
