The bull figurine is realistically modeled. It consists of four separate legs, a triangular muzzle, and a torso that ends with a convex tail. Short horns, eyes, nostrils, and mouth are marked on the muzzle. Double arcs are incised on the sides. The image of a bull is interpreted as a symbol of power and a masculine beginning. Statuettes of bulls could be used during sacrifices to gods (as opposed to cows that were sacrificed to goddesses).
