This iconic object, measuring 3.5 cm in height and 7 cm in length (1 3/8 in. x 2 3/4 in.) in its original form, captures the essence of Tang-era artistry with its realistic depiction of a resting bull, complete with finely detailed skin folds on its neck. Available in a range of premium materials, this replica combines historical significance with modern manufacturing precision, making it an elegant addition to any desk or collection.

– White Nylon: Treated with a polishing process, this option provides a smooth-to-touch surface at an affordable price, maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
– Bronze: Crafted through metal casting, where a wax master model is replaced by molten bronze in a plaster mold, this material delivers a timeless, robust finish with a classic metallic sheen.
– Brass: Produced via metal casting, brass offers a sophisticated, warm-toned appearance, blending durability with an elegant look suited for decorative display.
– Gold Plated Brass: This option features a brass base coated with a luxurious gold plating, achieved through metal casting and finishing techniques, for a striking, opulent effect reminiscent of the original gilt bronze.
