Description

PLEASE NOTE THIS ITEM HAS DAMAGE. THE HORNS ARE NOT ACTUALLY ATTACHED THEY WERE BROKEN OFF AT SOME POINT IN THE PAST.

All Friedenberg Estate items are as described by Daniel Friedenberg, former curator at the Jewish Museum in New York City. New England Auction Company offers no guarantee as to the authenticity or the age of any item listed.

As per Daniel Friedenberg: Plaster Bull Head from Sinai 400-100BC. Cult of the sacred bull of Memphis (Egypt) Measures about 8 inches in length and about 5 inches wide.
