Steiff Chinese Zodiac Sign Ox EAN 036040

Over a thousand years ago, a special kind of calendar came into being- the Chinese zodiac calendar. In traditional Chinese culture, this calendar assigns a certain animal to every year. These are animals that play a role in people's everyday lives: ox, rat, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. The year 2009 is the sign of the ox that stands for conscientiousness and discipline and has been reproduced as a beautifully-made little Steiff ox made of finest mohair. Its fur has lifelike black and white spots and its facial expression has also been intricately handmade to look realistic. With its horns and hooves made of bellseime, the Steiff ox has its four feet firmly on the ground - securely anchored on a wooden pedestal made of fine beech that bears a brass plate with the inscription "Year of the Ox 2009". The friendly-looking zodiac animal for 2009 is a genuine collector's item and the fist in the new Steiff series dedicated to the zodiac signs of the Chinese calendar. The ox is a part of worldwide Limited Editions of 2,009 pieces and "bears" the gold-plated "Button in Ear".

Steiff Chinese Zodiac Sign Ox EAN 036040 is a 2009 Worldwide Limited Edition.
