Bronze statuette (H. 0.12). The exact find-spot is unkown, but the catalogue of the British Museum (Inv. No. 1017) mentions "Castellani 1873" which might imply a Roman origin. Another note in manuscript however, says "probably not Castellani" !
A group of Mithras, slaying the bull. His hands and a part of the flying cloak have got lost as well as the bull. The god is in Eastern attire.
