Minoan bull and acrobat 1600-1450 BCE

"Bronze group of an acrobat somersaulting over a bull's head. The group is solid cast, in one piece, using the lost wax technique. The arms are not represented, but end in stumps: it is not clear whether this was by design or because the bronze did not flow into the extremities of the mould. Equally, the loss of the lower legs may have been due to a casting fault."
