Head of a Bull, 3000-2000 BC. Creator: Unknown.
Caption
Head of a Bull, 3000-2000 BC. This bull head is carved in a banded stone. The sculptor has ingeniously planned the work so that the veins of the stone enhance the anatomy of the head. Inlays of stone, ivory, or gold (now missing) were set into the eyes and horn sockets. The other holes were used to attach the head to a body of a different material.
