The contours of the head naturalistically modelled, with wide eyes framed by concentric folds, deep flaring nostrils, open mouth, and fleshy dewlap, the ridged poll with tuffs of hair between the (missing) horns, the ears originally inserted, the neck with several shallow crescentic folds, later converted by drilling for use as a fountain, 23 1/2in. (59.7cm.) long
