A small cast-bronze animal figurine shaped like a bull lies on a dark stone base.
The image shows a single anthropomorphic/zoomorphic object in profile: a compact bull form with a rounded head, short projecting muzzle, and curved spine. The body appears uniformly modeled with stylized contours; the legs are indicated by solid, low-relief volumes. The figurine is set on a rectangular support/base of dark stone with a mottled, veined surface. No clearly legible hieroglyphs or inscriptions are visible on the bull or the base in this view, and no cartouches or royal names can be confirmed. No distinct deities are identified from attributes beyond the animal form itself.
