English term

horn-mouthed tombs

English to Portuguese Art/Literary History maçonaria, templários,
I work for a publishing house and one of the revisors I assist had a doubt about the term "horn-mouthed tombs" and I couldn't help her. We couldn't find out what it means in this context:

The upward-pointing triangle in figures 11 and 12, formed by the spread of the Goddess's legs, symbolise death and the womb as tomb, as seen in the structures of so-called "horn-mouthed tombs". Gimbutas says that "the caves, crevices and caverns of the earth are natural manifestations of the primordial womb of the Mother. [...]

***

O triângulo apontando para cima, nas ilustrações 11 e 12, formado pelo estender-se das pernas da Deusa, simboliza a morte e o útero como tumba, como visto nas estruturas das chamadas "tumbas que possuem bocas-buzina". Gimbutas afirma que: "as grutas, fendas e cavernas da terra são manifestações naturais do útero primordial da Mãe. [...]

***

We came to the conclusion that a "horn-mouthed tomb" could be a tomb that follows the lines of the human body (like some Egyptian tombs) but we are not sure.

This is a book about the Templars and Masonry.

Thank you for reading!

tumbas de abertura afunilada

foi o melhor que consegui colega.

Escolhi isso pois o texto se refere a "útero como tumba" e essa tradução sugere uma forma que se assemelha bem ao contexto, ou seja, "útero primordial da Mãe"
