Fragment of a ram figurine preserved from half the snout to the neck and a small piece of the back. The snout is impressed in a mold with lens-shaped eyes surrounded by thick eyelids and several ridges above the eyes, converging in the center of the snout. The ram's horns, curled around the ears, are only marked by indentations and emerge from the top of the animal's head and are provided with transverse indentations imitating the natural texture of ram horns. Rusty clay, coarse-grained, crumbling. 1st half of the 6th century BC, Etruria. Antefix fragment. Height 13 cm, width 15 cm., A roughly textured object with a weathered, stone-like surface in shades of beige and light brown, showing a rounded top with a spiral-shaped protrusion and a slope that widens toward the base; the surface has small pits and granular irregularities and edges that appear chipped, set against a plain light gray background.
