Moschophoros
Moscophoros (Greek: μοσχοφόρος "calf-bearer") is an ancient Greek statue of cow-bearer that was found in fragments in the Perserschutt in the Acropolis of Athens.[1] The statue, dated c. 560 BC and estimated to have originally measured 1.65 metres (5.4 ft) in height,[2] is currently housed in the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece.
According to an inscription on its base, the statue was a votive offering to the goddess Athena by a certain Rhonbos (although the name is not entirely legible);[2]:{{{3}}} it is thought to represent Rhonbos himself, bringing sacrifice.[3]
