A LURISTANI BRONZE RECUMBENT STAG FIGURE, CIRCA 1000–700 BC. - A cast Luristani bronze figure depicting a recumbent stag with elongated neck and stylised head, shown with the legs folded beneath the body in a resting posture. The head projects forward with a tubular muzzle and small rounded eyes, while the prominent antlers extend outward in multiple prongs forming a striking crown-like arrangement. The body is rendered with simplified, abstracted modelling characteristic of Luristan bronze animal figures. The compact torso and bent legs create a balanced composition, with the hooves flattened beneath the body to provide stability. H: Approximately 12.5cm D: Approximately 12.5cm
