Ancient Stone "Bull" Altar -- c. 1100 B.C.
bull, altar, stone
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
I require that you have several experts examine this piece after purchasing it. I will not go into detail here. You must decide based on the "hit" you get from the photo over the internet.
Carved in granite, there are two bulls on the front end, and a hollowed-out area on top as a receptacle for sacrificial blood.
This is a very important museum-grade piece. Only by agreeing to donate it to a receiving museum by endowment on passing will you get temporary (lifetime) possession of this major antiquity.
Consider the price a barrier to idle curiosity, but actually it's below what I consider the fair market price. You will absolutely never see another one like this.
