Context: This figure, which may have been the support of a bronze vessel, is much more common than the tripod in the form of a man-animal (1966.24). There are many striking animal support figures in Achaemenid Persian art. The ibex is shown in a rearing posture; the two front legs are largely missing. The animal's curly hair and facial features are indicated by cold-working on the surface after the body was cast by the lost-wax method. Both the naturalism and the detailed working of the surface indicate a later production date that that of the tripod."Gods, Men, and Heroes," page 39
