The Lying Bull Ox – 3D Printable Model for Makers and Collectors

Throughout history, the bull has been one of the most recognized and respected animals across different civilizations. From Mesopotamia and Egypt to Greece and beyond, bulls were depicted in art, mythology, and sculpture as a symbol of power, vitality, fertility, and divine protection.
