During the Geometric period, small bronze sculptures of animals, either as a free-standing votive or as a decorative adjunct, were particularly common, including horses, sheep, bulls, water fowl and chickens, a relative new comer to Greece. For related examples see no. 6 in J.R. Mertens, Greek Bronzes in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and no. 62 in H. Hoffmann, Ten Centuries that Shaped the West.
