    I was going to guess Caria or Phliasia based on the style of bull.

    CNG had one in a group lot and they called it Sicilian with a question mark. They described the reverse as "wheel with three spokes", which doesn't seem right to me. I'd call it a three-pointed star.

    Whatever it is, it is not common :).

    Thank you TIF and Shanxi. Caria does look the best bet.
