Small silver bull clothed in a robe holding a vessel. Representations of animals in human postures were common in Proto-Elamite art, possibly as symbols of natural forces but just as likely as protagonists in myths or fables. 3100-2900 BCE Southwest Iran [855×1200]

wow, I wonder what kind of potions were drank from that vessel.
The caption says that it’s silver, although it looks to me like some type of stone carving.
