Decorative Plaque: Cow Nursing Its Calf by an unknown artist depicts a white, stone sculpture of a cow and her calf. The cow has a ribcage visible and a long, straight piece of stone extends across her back. She has a large head with two horns protruding from her forehead. Her head is lowered to her calf, which is positioned underneath her, nursing. The background of the image is gray. A shadow is cast beneath the sculpture on the surface below.
