Decor: lots of linear decor on neck, legs, shoulder, and a whirl or "torsional hair star" (Moorey 117) on the haunches.

Characteristic of Luristan is the great variety of these cheekpieces cast in large flat plaques as passant animals. Potratz places them in his group V. Similar cheekpieces appear in the reliefs of Sennacherib (794-681 BC) confined to horses associated with the king. It is likely that Assyria adopted them through contacts with western Persia in the eighth century. Variations in style most likely indicate different workshops rather than dating (Moorey). Ours is of the less naturalistic kind with an unusual depiction of a bull-deer. Similar animals may be seen in Potratz who traces their origins to Sumer-Akkadian tradition. The uniqueness and decorative character of the animal might place them closer to the ninth than the seventh century.
