Bull statuette

Figure of a striding bull, the left legs forward. The bull has a solar disc decorated with the uraeus between his horns, the upper part of the solar disc is broken. The ears protrude on the sides of the head. The eyes are lateral and in relief, the corrosion covering the object obscures the details. The dewlap is rendered as a thin protruding rim. There is a lacuna on the back of the animal. The legs and tail are broken. The statuette is mounted on a modern wooden base. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
