This is a small, dark metal sculpture of a bull. It stands on a thick, rough base, with its legs bent forward like it’s walking. The horns curve back sharply, and the body is smooth but simple, with no extra details. The bull’s front legs are close together, almost touching. The metal looks old and worn, with some spots where it’s darker or lighter. If you like this kind of ancient metalwork, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
