 | 16426 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Terracotta relief. A bull-legged demon facing right. Broken in half but virtually complete. The body is in profile with the left leg advanced, and hands held in front of body holding a staff, the head is full-face. The figure is nude except for a belt; he wears the bulls horn headdress and has bulls ears, but the face is human, with long elaborately curled beard. From the waist downwards the body is that of a bull. Bold but conventional work, the upper part in high relief, the legs flat and poor. It was painted bright red all over with black on the beard and eyes; ground also red. The red paint had mixed with the soil & formed a powdery covering as much as .002 thickness, concealing the fgure; much of that next to the clay was preserved and some was replaced. |
