Bull statuette

Figure of a striding bull, the right legs forward. The head is slightly tending to the right, the horns are small and asymmetrical. The dewlap forms several folds. The figure is elegant and well-proportioned. The neck of the bull is bulging and forms a hump. The hind legs are broken. The tail is threadlike, and the fur details are indicated. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
