Condition

Surface slightly worn, casting cracks on proper left shoulder and underbelly, base heavily corroded, small area of light green corrosion with linen impression on proper right shoulder. The base appears to be cast separately from the figure of the bull, which is unusual for an object of this type, and therefore might not be original to the piece, and of either ancient or modern origin.
