Clay, 195 grams; 86.40 x 79.26 mm. Circa 960-1279 AD. A crude representation of an ox, hand moulded in a hollow form and made from grey clay with white pigment wash. The body is wide and stands on short legs with an incised line decoration around the sides, probably to indicate fur. The head is large and has deep set eyes and nostrils with horns pointing back and ears below. A rare and interesting piece, small part of horn and ear missing otherwise in very fine condition. Ex old English collection.
