Bull statuette

Figure of a standing bull. He has a solar disc decorated with the uraeus between his horns. The bull has a collar composed of two plain bands. Two winged figures (scarabs or solar discs) seem to be incised on the withers and rump. The bull wears a cloth on its back. The tail is attached to the hind legs. The figure rests on a rectangular bronze base, and the statuette is mounted on a modern wooden base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
