Vessel in the form of a humped bull

myminifactory

This magnificent terracotta vessel in the shape of a humped bull dates back to Early 1st Millennium BC Iran. Its origins remain a mystery, although its current owners, the esteemed Kallos Gallery, are confident that it once graced three separate European private galleries before finding its way into their collection. The piece was recently listed for auction at £30,000, destined to be passed on to yet another private collector's possession.
