A boldly dappled ox — its hide a dramatic patchwork of deep umber and creamy white — cranes its neck upward with an almost imperious air, embodying the vivid naturalism that made Han Huang's Five Oxen scroll a masterpiece of Tang Dynasty animal painting. Created around 785 CE, the scroll spent centuries in imperial collections, bore the seals of Song Emperor Huizong and the Qianlong Emperor, and was looted in 1900 before being recovered and repatriated in 1950. This card, the second in China Post's 1985 New Year stationery set of five, captures the scroll's most visually striking animal — the piebald ox — with the characteristic red collector seals visible at lower left and right, testifying to the artwork's storied provenance.
