c. 1200 to 800 BC. Western Asiatic, Luristan culture. An attractive cast bronze figurine of a quadruped beast with short ears, large eyes and stylised muzzle, elongated but muscular body, robust, squat legs and a short tail. A collar about the beast’s neck probably identifies it as an ox or other beast of burden, as well as serving to suspend the piece from a cord. This item may have served as an amulet, intended to evoke the beast’s physical power. Good condition; beautiful patina. Provenance: From an old British collection formed in the 1990s, formerly acquired in the UK and European Art Market.; Size: L:52mm / W:56mm ; 55g
