Illustration
This white stone bull's head was originally inlaid. It has an ornamented forelock. The artifact is socketed at the back, probably for an attachment to the corner of a seat (most likely an arm of the throne). There is a carved spiral pattern around the neck. The eyes are hollow and would have been inlaid. From Eastern Anatolia, in modern-day Turkey. Urartian, 750-700 BCE. (The British Museum, London).
