Photograph of small gold-colored metal fragments shaped like a bull’s head, likely from a large earring, with an attached loop and remnants of string or cord.

The image shows a small, irregular but clearly figurative gold-toned fragment on a light gray textured background. The fragment depicts a bull’s head in profile: a rounded forehead and muzzle, with a small horn or horn base visible on the side and a dark recessed area around the eye/cheek. A curved metal element near the head appears to be part of the attachment hardware. At the right side, a loop or ring-shaped opening is visible from which two pale cords/threads extend, suggesting that the earring fragment originally hung from or was connected to a larger component. No hieroglyphs, cartouches, or alphabetic inscriptions are visible on the fragment, and no deities are identifiable from iconography beyond the bull form itself. The object is consistent with the catalogue description of “Fragments of a Large Earring with Bull’s Head,” though the full earring and scale are not shown.
