Bronze statuette of a horned animal, perhaps a bull, standing on a wooden board. — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C00669. Public domain (CC0).

Description

A corroded, crusty bronze figure of a four-legged animal with large curved horns, small ears and a broad head, standing with its legs apart on a pale wooden surface. The surface is pitted and encrusted, and the body is shown from the front, slightly turned. The plain grey backdrop leaves the figure isolated in the frame.
