The animal stands four-square with its head lowered, and the gold catches the light against the clear crystal beneath, lending the piece a warm, luxurious accent without disturbing Lalique's characteristic sculptural clarity.

The ox is associated in Chinese astrology with determination, perseverance and trustworthiness, qualities reflected in the sculpture's calm, grounded stance. The piece is signed "Lalique France" to the underside.
