Bosou

Bosou, the three-horned bull, is something like a spiritual 'body guard,' often invoked for protection. He has Rada and Petwo sides but is most often seen in his Petwo aspect where he connects closely with Kongo spirits of the crossroads and the grave. Bosou is represented by triple-horned objects, and sometimes associated with the triple-rayed halo of Christ the King.
