From the Museo Egizio record

Group consisting of a bull and kneeling adorant on a rectangular base. The bull is striding, the left legs forward. The bull is mechanically set into the base and is removable. The bull has a solar disc between his horns, decorated with the uraeus. The figure is a bit crooked. The back of the bull is rather flat. The tail runs along the right hind leg. The figure rests on a thin rectangular base. Two square tenons project down from the base. The adorant is kneeling on his heels. The adorant has a shaven head, the hands are on the knees, the feet protrude from the base, resting on the short side. The base on which the bull and the orant rest is hollow, the long sides are decorated with three wavy lines in relief. On the upper side of the base are two irregularly shaped holes. The bull is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts and the base is hollow cast. Dimensions: 13.2 cm x 10.1 cm x 3 cm. Museum location: Not on display.
