Toro

it differs from the Ox in having its tail turned on its back; can be standing on its hind legs ("furious"), "standing" on its four legs, in the act of walking ("passer-by"), "sitting" on its hind legs, "lying down", or in the act of climbing on another figure ("ascending"); only the head in front ("meeting of t.") or in profile can be represented.
