Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Ancient Near East, Anatolia, ca. late 2nd millennium BCE. A fabulous, cast-leaded bronze bull, a symbol of both fertility and virility in the ancient world. The broad body of the figurine stands atop 4 tubular legs with flat hooves, with a thick tail extending downwards from its posterior. The stocky neck supports a large head with a broad snout, an incised mouth, and perky ears, all capped by a prominent pair of curved horns projecting from the top of the head. The body of the beast is coated in a smooth green and brown patina. A small perforation is drilled on the underside of the neck. A wonderful example! Size: 2.4" L x 0.8" W x 1.5" H (6.1 cm x 2 cm x 3.8 cm)

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
