Apis Bull

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture "Apis Bull" by an unknown artist depicts a bull standing on a rectangular base. The bull is carved from dark green stone with brown speckles, and its body faces left. The bull's head is angled slightly towards the viewer, with a short snout and small ears. A curved horn protrudes from the top of its head. The body is rendered with a textured pattern on the neck and a smooth surface on the rest. The bull's front and back legs are visible, with the front legs positioned slightly ahead of the back legs. The rectangular base is rough-hewn and textured. The background of the image is a dark gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the sculpture.
