Bronze statuette of a bull
Not on view
Small bronze animal statuettes were especially common dedications in Greek sanctuaries in the Geometric and Archaic periods. As they were portable and could be easily produced, they were a less expensive option to large-scale bronze votive offerings. The objects dedicated may also have been appropriate for a specific deity. The bull was frequently, but not exclusively, associated with Zeus and Poseidon.
