| Reverse description | A high-relief anthropomorphic figure representing the Chinese zodiac Ox is depicted seated in a cross-legged posture, dressed in traditional Han-dynasty court robes rendered with fine drapery detail. The figure bears the head of an ox with prominent curved horns and raises its right hand to display a circular bronze insert cabochon element set into the design. Decorative floral and foliate scrollwork in low relief fills the field to either side of the central figure, evoking classical Chinese ornamental motifs. To the upper left, the Chinese character 牛 (ox) appears alongside the Latin inscription OX. The curved legend HAIYANTANG ZODIAC FOUNTAIN runs along the lower rim. |
