Antlers, do you see just decorative intent or a physics observation, or something else? Comment as you see fit.

Stag antlers, lions mane and hair near headbands show the same curling shapes, and a clear demarcation between the face and the lions mane may represent two sides of a portal. These stylized curls happen near portals in symbolism, and I wonder what form of energy near portals would curl like that.

With human hair, styling with waves and curls is considered decorative (to literally trained minds, which is everyones starting point). With Lions mane, it's still hair, but antlers can't literally be styled. I'm showing stag antlers on image C, K and L with shapes you can also find on lions mane, lion tails and hair near headbands. Some lions from ancient symbolism use a clear demarcation between the face and the lions mane, like on image A, B, D and J. I hadn't noticed this until recently, but I think it represents two sides of portal, ( I use the word portal to mean an inlet or outlet through a barrier of a torus, which can be a barrier betwen our-reality and higher-density reality). The headband on a human head also has strong evidence of being used to represent that halfway point of a portal, and has been on many previous posts. I'm starting to really appreciate the sideviews of lions faces like image B, like how I've grown to love headbands-as-symbols.

Antlers have some examples like image L where long-neck-birds are used for the curls. Snakes-in-wavy-hair is more common on human head-symbols, but some can look like birds (image F). Lion tails can be extremely curly, and in my lion tail collection, most examples are an outflow from the lion body. That's a little odd considering that most other tails (fish, birds, snakes) flow into the body. So I want to bring lion tails into consideration too. (links at the bottom). Lion wiskers is another thing I've started noticing, but have not begun collecting. They can be very exaggerated and sometimes remind me of exaggerated wrinkles on theatre masks, where I suspect they have a symbolic meaning too. Masks have eyebrows up or down, but what the cheek and forehead wrinkles are showing might also have meaning, that I haven't explored yet. So that's my whole post, a chance to show more curly antlers, and just repeating that these sort of styles happen near portals in symbolism.
