Fragmentary Figurine of a Calf
Sumerian
Only the front part survives of this reclining calf or young bull. The animal is represented with its legs tucked under the body; the tip of the tail is indicated on its right side. Despite its greater relative size, the features of this animal are modeled a little more cursorily than on [ADD acc. no.] The eyes are hollowed for inlays, and the tips of the horns are missing. A hole (diameter 0.15 cm) is drilled horizontally through the back of the figurine, allowing it to be worn as an amulet.
