This small bronze ibex from Luristan features three attachment holes: one between the shoulders, and two under the hooves. It is similar to the four ibexes discovered by Ectabane (Hamadan) and brought by the French mission of Virolleaud and Fossey to the Cabinet des Medailles in Paris.Bibliography (for this item)Ghirshman, Roman1963 Perse: proto-iraniens, mèdes, achemenides.
