The 'Ram in a Thicket'


This beautiful animal is made of gold and jewels. He is standing up peeking through a bush. From the way he is standing, we can tell he is a goat, not a sheep.

He was found in a grave. When he was found he had been squashed flat by the earth. Conservators had to stretch him back out.
