Solid Bronze Bull, Symbol of virility and strength. 
The worship of the bull was widespread in the ancient world, due to its association with power, strength and virility. It played a particularly prominent role in ancient Cretan culture, where it appears in many images on frescoes and painted pottery. Surviving Minoan frescoes and ceramics depict bull-leaping rituals, in which participants of both sexes vaulted over bulls by grasping their horns.
