Figure2903/32

Wooden painted carving of two oxen yoked together; part of a "San Isidro Labrador" set. Both oxen are painted black with brown eyes, dark brown horns and hooves, and have a thick ridge of muscle running around their necks. The ox on the left of the image gazes forward and has its mouth open. Its tongue extends out of its mouth to lick its nose; its mouth and nostrils are painted pink. The left ox has its tail bent and resting on top of its back. The ox on the right has white patches on its black fur, including a triangular white patch on its forehead and a line of white hair along its spine. This ox has its head tilted to the right and its mouth is closed, and its tail down. The oxen are yoked by a piece of wood which rests on the front of their shoulders. Over each torso the yoke is curved to fit the bodies and is affixed with leather rope which wraps around the left ox’s neck twice and the right ox’s neck three times. Hanging down from the yoke and attached by a piece of string, there is a long cylindrical piece of wood that extends in between the oxen bodies and further back. There is a square hole through the end of the piece. The oxen stand on a square base that is painted green-blue. Part b is a rectanglular piece with a triangular point at one end and a smaller rectangle cut out of the other end. Part c has a horizontal portion at one end which meets the remainder of the piece at a right angle. Upwards from this right angle, another portion of the object branches off at a more acute angle. There is a small hole through the object at one end.
