Description

A small clay model of a bull with short upturned horns, a rounded muzzle and four stubby legs. A loop handle arches from its back down to the rump, and the grey-brown surface is pitted with faint incised lines on the flank. The object stands on a pale surface, lit from the left, casting a long shadow to the right.
