Bull's-Head Amulet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Bull's-Head Amulet by artist unknown, features a light purple stone carved into a bull's head. The stone exhibits a smooth surface with visible imperfections and darker speckles throughout. A short neck-like protrusion extends from the bottom. The background is dark gray, with a shadow cast to the right. The bull's head has two circular indentations on either side for the eyes and a ridge in the middle for the nose. The mouth area is not clearly defined.
