The cattle are of the typical humped form (Bos indicus). The figures of goats, which so often accompany those of the cattle on the vase-paintings, are more stylized, and represent the wild goat (*Capra hircus*), with curved, swept-back horns (Fig. 54). Fish are sometimes used to form a continuous band of design on shallow plates, where they follow one another, head-to-tail, in a narrow circular zone.
