Pipeclay bull figurine. This mould-made figurine, complete and in good condition, depicts a heavily-built bull, with deep solid neck and dewlap, standing on a flat plinth. The bull is uncastrated and wears a band around the middle of his body which is probably intended to represent the sash worn by sacrificial animals - he had been selected as a sacrificial gift to the gods.
