About the Item

Bull's head, in Caldas faience. Decorated in black, with ivory horns and brown eyes, providing a striking contrast. The eyes have a golden sheen, giving them an intense and expressive look. The detailed texture of the skin and hair on the front of the head provides a realistic finish. The sculpture is designed to be fixed to the wall, making it ideal for decorating rustic, bullfighting or themed environments. With its imposing and detailed design, it conveys strength and presence. It's a sculpture that may be of interest to collectors or lovers of Iberian culture and the world of bullfighting. Despite its robust appearance, the piece requires careful handling to preserve the details and avoid damaging the horns. Marked on the bottom, ‘Aires G. Leal, Portugal, Caldas da Rainha’
