Hi Mendy, I am sure Graham will oblige with photos and a better description but its a beautifully sculpted and regmaglypted Taza of i would guess between 1.5 and 2kg. It has a very characteristic shape with elongated arms and one end of one of the 'arms' has been used as the end of a hammer (one of the other 'arms' being the handle) and the metal has been folded over and rounded over many years of use as an ancient tool. It really is a spectacular piece :-)
