Zoomorphic
This category includes representations of animals in 3D which may have been free standing.
Representations of animals in 3D which are hand modeled or mold-pressed and may have been free standing. These are separated from Plaques and Reliefs because they contain one main subject, no border, a plain background, are in high relief, and depict a stationary individual, either standing or sitting.

| 12357B | 30-12-702 | (none) | (none) | [A, B] Statues of rams. A pair. With gold heads and legs; lapis horns, eyes and manes; shell fleeces; silver bellies; the plants and flowers gold; mounted on silver stands with pink and white mosaic diaper. The ram stands on his hind legs, the front legs doubled up and shackled to the stems of tall plants whose arrowhead shaped leaves & rosette flowers rise on each side of the head. Gold sockets rising from the shoulder shows that they were supports for something : of this the only possible trace was a white substance, perhaps leather, which lay under the second animal found. The first animal [A] is rather badly broken & the legs & part of the rump are separate but the thickness of the body is preserved : the second [B] is squashed quite flat but keeps its silhouette & only 3 of the flowers are detached. | |
