This small bronze figurine depicts a resting ox with detailed features, including ribbed sides and a calm expression. The sculpture captures the natural posture of the animal, with its legs tucked beneath it and its head slightly turned. The bronze has developed a natural patina over time, giving it an authentic antique look. Such figurines are often associated with Asian art, particularly in Chinese culture, where the ox is a symbol of strength, hard work, and prosperity.
