A bronze Oxyrhynchus fish in the Museum of Ancient Cultures, Macquarie University

The bronze figurine MU 4200 at the Museum of Ancient Cultures at Macquarie University features an oxyrhynchus fish. Associated with the goddess Taweret, this fish was venerated in the Graeco-roman period. Stylistic features are assessed and types developed (sled-style base, additional rectangular base, double plinth) based on a comparative corpus of 34 examples from the literature.
