Description
Ca. 202BC-220AD. A beautiful bronze figurine of a bull standing alert on all four legs with nicely detailed hooves. The animal is naturalistically modelled with a heavy body, a long tail extending between legs, short horns, small ears, a thick dewlap, open mouth, nostrils, and recessed lidded eyes. In order to confirm its authenticity, this piece has undergone X-Ray Fluorescence analysis by an independent Belgian Laboratory. The samples collected show the chemical composition to reflect the typical metal contents of the described period, whilst also showing no modern trace elements in the patina.Size: L:175mm / W:240mm ; 1.8kgProvenance: East Anglian private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong.
