Kine of Araw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional world of Middle-earth created by J. R. R. Tolkien, the Vala Oromë brought the Kine of Araw (as they were known as by the men of Gondor) to Middle-earth. The Kine were legendary white oxen that lived near the inland Sea of Rhûn. Vorondil the Hunter made the horn of Gondor of one of these beasts into a heirloom of the Stewards of Gondor. This horn was eventually owned by Boromir and was destroyed during the War of the Ring.
J. R. R. Tolkien identified these creatures as aurochs.
