Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial period, Eastern Mediterranean, ca. 2nd to 4th century CE. A delightful bull's head spout free-blown from translucent blue glass with applied light green trailing forming the eyes and horizontal stripes along the neck. Stylized in form, the ancient animal displays a tapered snout surmounted by a swooping pair of horns above petite, perky ears. The bull was considered a deeply divine animal throughout antiquity - a meaningful symbol of the moon, fertility, rebirth, and power. We find the earliest depictions of bulls in Paleolithic cave paintings. Moreover, the veneration of the bull in Anatolia would influence several religious cults in antiquity: from the Minoan practice of bull-jumping in Crete, to the fervent worship of the Apis bull in Egypt, to the sacrificial practices of Roman Mithraism. Size: 1.2" W x 1.9" H (3 cm x 4.8 cm); 4.1" H (10.4 cm) on included custom stand.
