Default I have a Shed!

I have a Shed that has been passed to me from my grandfather. it is a HUGE non typical right side, chocolate horn. it has 13 points and MAJOR mass. I was wondering if anyone has any kind of idea that i could do with this. I was wanting to try to run down the other side, but the older man that was suppose to have it, came down with altheimers, so that was a worthless try. I have always wanted to maybe get a reproductional side made and mount it, BUT i dotn know how to even go about that. I think that would probably be awefully pricey tho. I would also like to maybe find a case to just put it away in, to kinda put it on the mantle or something, kinda like they do helments. Does anyone out there have any ideas in really, i guess not only making this last forever, but also making look nice???? IF you have any ideas let me know. I am open for suggestions, i just hate for it to be laying around, and take the chance of it getting broke or anything like that. hit me up with whatever ideas you have!!

Get a pedestal mount of a coyote, bobcat, etc and use the antler as the base.

My big sheds are used for decor on mantles, end table, on top of gun cab, etc...
