Cow/Ox/bull, old/new, origin?

It doesn't look like the bulls etc. I find with Google Lens...apart from https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smar...sts-find-3000-year-old-bronze-bull-180977290/ but I don´t think those end up being sold in a thrift shop ...
Can anyone tell me more about this?

 

looks like a casting of a bovine creature...
is that brass showing thru..?

my 1st thought...amateur or student project..!

what size is it
is it yours
where did you find it
how long ya had it
is it magnetic
Does it Moo ?

Help us, to help you !!

 

The most similar figures I'm seeing online seem to be Greek and archaic, but it could be tribal, or even modern, and from just about anywhere. With something like this, you hope to find an online link to an original, identified object. Without that, it's difficult to tell much of anything. I think the bottom shows machine grinding, which suggests new and possibly a replica.

A plainer background to the photo might improve search results.

 

With the long muzzle, he does appear to be made in the style of bronze animal figurines found in several Bronze Age cultures, from the Hittites in Anatolia, to Greek examples from the "geometric period", to the Nuragic culture in Sardinia. But as mos notes, he looks like a modern production.

 

Cute but I vote newer repro too - poor quality crude cast metal that is roughly ground especially on the bottom.

 

Possibly a contemporary museum replica-these don't always have the high quality of the 19th Grand Tour reproductions.

 

museum would likely be marked.....and not of such low quality....imo

 

I've seen good & bad repops,could even be student/craft fair piece ?

 

it's possible...

 

Thank you for all your replies!

Not sure ... I don't know where I left it I have the photos on my computer, but the original is somewhere in one of the many boxes with stuff ... I think it will be somewhere around 10cm

Yes

Bought it at a thrift shop

Probably 5 years

I don't think it's magnetic, but I will test it again, ... once I find it...

I don't think so, but it might. It doesn't moo when I'm around, but maybe it's shy and only moos when nobody is around

 

It is a replica, but of souvenir quality, not museum shop quality.
The patina is applied, so not patinated due to age, and there are the things Rayo noted about the crude casting that is roughly ground on the base, showing recent bronze or brass. There patina is worn a bit on the ear, nose and horns, so it could be a few decades old.
It is cute though.
