I think it is clay and looks to have some age to it. Only weights about 50grams. 9cm long and stands 4cm height. What do you think? Any comments will be appreciated. Thank you and keep well

    I don't know anything to help identify except it looks like a water buffalo.

    I think that's a museum replica of something like a Knossos bull.

    Thanks.Appreciate the comment. Yes,could very well be. I do have another little bronze bull that’s a replica museum souvenir. I was just thinking this one might be something else. I don’t really know,but maybe something like an very old toy figurine.
