Dear Gioia,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a clay ram idol the measurements of approximately; 2 + 3/4 or 70 mm inches wide x 2 + 3/4 inches high. This idol depicts a ram with his horns and could be made in the Anatolian Bronze Age or Iron Age. The ram was a symbol of power and fertility.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in damaged condition and is a damage to the neck visible in the images.
A fair market estimation would be between 40 to 80 USD.
This estimate is based on recently recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
