Consuela and the bull horns


Anyone notice that when Wayne meets Consuela for the first time in the hotel lobby, theres a pair of bull horns hung on the wall directly behind her and the shot is framed so that the horns appear to stick out of her head ?
Knowing that in photography as well as target practice/gun hunting, one of the cardinal rules is to know what's behind/beyond the subject being aimed at, I can't help think this was no amateurish mistake. She was a hot headed woman and the horns seemed to fit.

That's because Wayne was always "horny" for spirited latin women. Haha.

I noticed that too. Surely they're not suggesting that Carlos cheated on her?
