Descrizione:
This type of protome is particularly widespread in Asia Minor. Downward-facing bovine head with amygdaloid eyes and protruding eyeballs. The eyelids are marked by a fairly obvious furrow. On the muzzle and forehead are asymmetrically painted strands of hair. The nose has, before the raised nostrils, two grooves. Under the attachment of the horns, on the right, a series of lines to draw the folds of the neck. On the back it has a hole, suggesting an architectural element. This type is particularly widespread in Microasia.
