Description

A small pottery vessel modelled as a standing bull, with a rounded body, four slender legs, a short muzzle, eye and two pointed horns. A loop handle arches up from the back, and the surface is mottled with pale and dark patches and a crack runs across the body. It stands on a pale surface against a plain grey backdrop, and the print is mounted on a card with handwritten marks at the lower edge.
