A ten gallon metal drum has been used as the body of this bovine Mailbox. It still has the original painted branding of oil or fuel for the drum of the 'body'. The four legs are tapering metal tubes that are welded to the body, and getting a bit rusty now. The body is mounted on a metal water pipe.

The green-painted head is another metal can, that is attached on an angle, and fully sealed and fixed to the body. A pair of curved tapering metal horns are attached to the head. There is also a pair of metal ears below the horns. Eyes appear to be metal caps in the appropriate spots. The snout has a cut flap, that lifts up for the mail to inserted into the body of the 'bull'. There is also a metal ring that inserted through holes of the 'nose' of the snout. Even the steel reinforcing rod of the tail, that is used to lift the flap to extract the mail, is painted with galvanised frosting.

(On the head is a printed sign, "Beware of Dog".) TWO, of the three digits of the address are on the 'bridge of the nose'.
