When I first opened the little pouch, I thought it contained the wrong item. It looked like a black stone on both sides. I had to put it into bright light to see the outline of the Ox. I even showed it to 3 other people and they didn't see the Ox on it until they got really close. It looks nothing like the picture as far as the definition of the animal goes.  I WOULD NOT recommend this item.  (Note: Before someone posts a comment, I am aware I could have returned it. However, due to a personal emergency, I missed the return window. I did not lower the rate because of the return snafu.)
