The bucranium is a decorative representation of the ox skull, commonly used in Greek and Roman art, often adorned with festoons or garlands. It is a recurring element in sculptures and architecture, often linked to worship and ritual sacrifices.
The beautiful and elegant mythological head on whose back there is a bucranium
symbol of regeneration refers precisely to the Greek custom of hanging the skulls of animals sacrificed to the gods outside the
temples
