Miniature Ram or Goat Pendant

Miniature Ram or Goat Pendant

Near Eastern

This pendant is in the form of a stylized ram standing frontally. The ram has two downward-curving horns. Its head is small and bean-shaped, with raised circles for the eyes. Two raised bands encircle the long neck. The legs are simple and thin, tapering to points. There is a transverse hole through the body for suspension rather than a loop. The tail rises up, then curves downward.
