content: From card: ""Toy - a styled figure of a bull" - This may be a mistake; the object would appear to be neither a toy nor a stylized figure of anything. It is a small section of willow, slightly flattened at back, with a loop at upper end and the bark cut away at intervals leaving the wood showing."
