Description : CIRCA 1ST CENTURY A.D.
The powerful animal depicted striding forward, the right foreleg raised, the head lifted and inclined to his right, the details of the musculature and the pliant folds of the ridged dewlap naturalistically modelled, the eyes recessed for now-missing inlays, the curving tail separately made and inserted, a circular mortise at the back of the head likely for insertion of an Apis crown
