Box Lid with a Bull
Brown stone carving on a tan background. The carving depicts a bull with its head facing right and body angled left. The bull's body is rendered primarily in relief. The bull has a curved horn on its head. The bull's head and upper body are partially missing. The bull stands on wavy lines that form a semicircle around the bottom half of the bull. The semicircle of wavy lines is contained within a thicker semicircle that forms the outer edge of the carving. The entire carving, including the bull and wavy lines, resembles a box lid. The title of the piece is "Box Lid with a Bull". The artist is unknown.
