Its shape is a clever combination of two cows and a tiger. With a strong bull as the main body, the four legs of the bull as the chopping board, the back of the bull as the oval chopping board, a tiger pouncing on the cow's tail, its four paws tightly pedaling on the cow and biting the cow's tail, eyeing the chopping board. There is a leisurely calf standing under Daniel's stomach, with its head and tail slightly exposed outside Daniel's stomach, which shows that Daniel sacrificed his protection for the calf.
In the case of Niuhutong, the neck muscles of Niuhutong are rich, and two huge horns stretch forward, giving people a feeling of going forward and tottering, but the tiger at its end leans back and then falls back to restore the balance of the case. Daniel's calf placed horizontally under his abdomen enhances the stability of the watch case.
