thingiverse

Animal-shaped drinking vessels have been made since the late Neolithic period. They have been found in cultures across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The bull was one of the more commonly used forms in animal-shaped vessels in the Aegean region. Bulls symbolized strength, and they were valued for their role in agriculture and for their meat. Bulls were also common in animal sacrifices to deities (gods and goddesses). https://learn.ncartmuseum.org/artwork/bulls-head-rhyton/
