Vessel in form of horned quadruped ca. 700-550 B.C. Iran This vessel takes the shape of a horned animal, probably a bull. It has four cylindrical legs and a similar neck, with a conical snout and horns. It also has small conical ears and large, flat eyes with raised pupils. A tubular handle connects its shoulders to its hindquarters, and there is a round pouring hole in its chest.This vessel was excavated at Chekka Sabz (also spelled Chigha Sabz, meaning green mound’) in the Pish-i Kuh (before the mountain’) region of Luristan in western Iran. It was found in a buried cache of objects which included two Neo-Elamite cylinder seals, two vessels in the form of human figures, and at least three other bull-shaped vessels. The seals date to the 8th-6th centuries B.C., and the pottery found with them, including this vessel, likely date to the same period. Although probably a small village in the Bronze Age, by the Iron Age Chekka Sabz had been reduced to a campsite, perhaps used by pastoral
