Notes on the statue
Most likely from ancient Telloh the statue depicts an image of a human headed bull which was a motif found throughout Mesopotamian history in variations of form. The bull man statues were associated with the sun god and had restorative and protective qualities.
This example shows the recumbent bull with human face sporting a long, curly beard. Although the face is human, he retains the ears of a bull and three pairs of horns can be seen resting on the top of the head creating a divine crown.
