A. P. Kozloff, ed., Animals in Ancient Art from the Leo Mildenberg Collection, Cleveland, 1981, no. 107.
The iconography of the ram in ancient Greek sculpture and vase painting is frequently associated with sacrifice. Rams were often shown on the shoulders of dedicants or during the moment of sacrifice. As this statuette is free-standing, it may have represented a small votive offering.
