Description

A small terracotta figurine of a standing bull shown in side profile, facing left. It has a thick, rounded head with short horns, a broad neck, a long body and four short, tapering legs, with a tail hanging down at the rear. The grey-brown surface is pitted and chipped in places, and the figure casts a soft shadow on the pale background.
