Jupiter as a Bull. Parian, circa 1800.

Ancient Greek with script to flanks.

Marble bull in the plot of Dionysios of Kollytos 345 - 338 B.C. Athens.


Roman, circa 1800. Perhaps from the Workshops of Pacetti.
Goats & Dogs are usually my thing but these are phenomenally covetable - bar, perhaps the first Parian 'Jupiter as a Bull' which just fitted the Jove reference - along with my serious need for a good Indian carved Nandi Bull (more to follow).
