Notes on support and decorations | The bull’s head was once part of a calcite-alabaster stela. The bull has small horns lined where they meet the head. There are two distinct wrinkles on the muzzle with the ends bent sharply downwards towards two crescent shaped nostrils and a c-shaped mouth; there is no detailing of the jaw line. There are wrinkles with squared ends carved in flat relief highlighting the eyes. |
