Description

A small metal bull stands with its legs square on a pale wooden block, its head turned toward the camera and its long curved horns rising above the forehead. The surface is rough and crusted with dark corrosion, with the body rounded and the hooves and legs clearly modelled. The plain light grey background leaves the figure isolated.
