Fragment of a bronze leg or support
The object was a decorative adjunct to a utensil, as indicated by the shaft and holes for attachment. The curled leaf could have served as one of several supports for a basin or the equivalent. Alternatively, the whole piece could have embellished a piece of furniture. Dating is difficult because the bull's head has a rather archaic appearance, while the stylization of the leaf suggests a late date.
