Over the years I have handled many Chinese Lunar Series pieces, but these are among the nicest I have ever seen. —1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997—People born in the Year of the Ox are patient, speak little, and inspire confidence in others. They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent.
