Bull statuette

Figure of bull, striding with right legs forward. He has a solar disc decorated with a large uraeus between his horns. The figure leans to the right. The bull wears a cloth, which is barely visible, on its back, decorated with a woven pattern and with bands decorated with small incisions on the neck and a central band. The tail runs along the left hind leg and swells towards the end. The figure rests on a rectangular base with a rather irregular surface. The figure is mounted on a modern wooden base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
