| Reverse description | Archaic linear bull striding left, depicted in a highly abstracted Celtic style with minimal but deliberate anatomical detail. The body is rendered schematically, with only one foreleg and one hind leg indicated, and a curving tail extending upward without the separate flanking crescents found on related types. A straight exergual line runs beneath the bull's body, defining the ground line. The overall composition reflects the degenerate evolution of the original Massalian prototype through successive generations of Celtic reinterpretation. |
