The handle mounted on the flat back consists of a stylized representation of the front parts of two horned animals joined with hole under their joined bodies. Thises from west central Asia and date to c. 2000-1500 B.C. There is some damage to the base, and to the head of one of the animals, but the piece is in fair condition.
