|Greek| |Antiquities|, |Greek,| |Bronze| |Votive| |Bovine| |Amulet,| |Geometric,| |c.| |7th| |-| |6th| |Century| |B.C.|
Geometric bronze animal figures were popular votive offerings from the mid to late 8th century B.C. in a number of Greek sanctuaries, notably at Olympia. Bronze bulls were probably symbolically offered in place of actual animals.
