I do not like it. I do not like the horns. They are weak in form and I do not believe any lapidist would do this, that is leave a gap between the head and horns. Besides that it lacks life for the effort. Sorry if I seem an old git.

The detail, realism, expression etc are up to the artist, there is quite a bit of range in the examples I know of.

I would like to thank everyone for their interesting and most informative comments (even old gits the level of knowledge of some of the members of the forum never ceases to amaze me nor does the fact that it is so freely given, I really am most appreciative.
I had no idea of its age it was one of those impulse buys I saw it and just had to have it for the beautiful decoration and superb craftsmanship, I love it With regard to it`s age I would defer to your knowledge and experience.
For interest I have owned it for approx. 20 years. Thanks again for your comments.
Regards
Miguel
