Amorite Terracotta Bull
Late 3rd-early 2nd millennium B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £338
Modelled in the round, with humped shoulder and downturned horns. 60 grams, 83 mm
Private collection Mr S.A., acquired in 1991. Thence by descent.
The figurine was modelled simplistically and only the presence of a hump and horns makes it possible to identify the animal as a zebu, which was common in the prehistoric Mesopotamian world. Similar figurines, which reproduced animals and humans, are typical of Amorite art, named after a group of semi-nomadic populations who lived in the north-western part of the Near East in the 3rd and 2nd millennium B.C. From the 20th century B.C., the incursions and armed pressure that the Amorites exerted on the kingdom of Ur overthrew the existing dynasties and created several kingdoms throughout Mesopotamia whose dynasties retained a strong attachment to their original culture.
