Bronze statuette of a ram
The ram had been used as the symbol on the coinage of the kings of Salamis in the late sixth and fifth centuries B.C. But it also had a wider significance in the Cypriot countryside, where pastoralism was an important element in the way of life. The statuette may have been made as a votive offering at a rural shrine.
