Form eines Stieres
1450 - 1200 v. Chr.
The bull-shaped rhyton belongs to a type that is represented by numerous examples, all of which are from tomb contexts: Cylindrical body, narrow tubular spout. Short thin legs, pellet eyes depressed with a circle, small ears, horns curving upwards and slightly forward. Hole at the back of the head with a vertical basket handle behind it. Vertical tail in relief along the middle of the hind part.
