This small figurine features a woman riding two brahman bulls with large humps on their backs, similar to the ones featured on the pashupati seal. The person’s face lacks any distinguishable features; but we are able to tell she is a woman from her long hair and visible breasts. It is possible the woman is an important person, due to what appears to be a small crown placed on her head. The surface of the bronze object has become green and pitted over time, but specks of the gold hue underneath remain visible.
