Year of the ox figurine

The year of the Ox
The ox is the second animal in the Chinese horoscope,representing the early hours of one o'clock to three o'clock in the morning. Just as this is the time when most  people are peacefully asleep and conserving their energy for the day to come, the year of the ox is seen as a perfect preparation period for future projects.  
It is said that seeds sown during this year will yield a fruitful crop.
