Hallstatt - Bull from Bull Rock - bronze

In 1869, during excavations led by Jindřich Wankel, two workers found a vessel with charred millet and inside this sacrificial vessel they found this bull, a smaller replica of which we offer. The original was decorated with iron and had slides in its eyes. It was probably a ritual burial of a great man of the Hallstatt culture.

In this unique cave we find finds from 17 known time periods, starting with the Paleolithic Magdalenian period (13,000 BC). Our bull appeared there in the older Iron Age, the Hallstatt period (800-450 BC).
