Wooden horns are attached to the piece and are as well, decorated with black and white sections. The horns are highlighted by lovely leather ears. The white painted forehead has a maroon scorpion showing off the name of the “Ganaderia” or cattle ranch. The black painted snout has red low relieve carved nose holes and tiny white mouth and moustache decorations. The black painted eyes have a very rare detail, horsehair-made upper eyelashes, while the lower are maroon painted. This lovely piece has a great patina in its back side.
