Each year the Butcher\u2019s guild in Holland would hold a parade on the day of its patron saint (St. Luke, symbolized by the apocalyptic winged ox). The parade celebrated the guild\u2019s best-bred bull or cow. The prized beast was decorated with floral garlands and ribbons, and gilded horns that were often topped with oranges. The festive, bannered procession was led by drummers and pipers, followed by a singing and dancing chorus of guild members and townspeople. The animal would later be butchered and the meat served at the guild dinner, a portion of it being donated to the church and the local poor. From this tradition emerged the saying, \u2018The guild ox is on parade\u2019, which became synonymous with \u2018this is a real feast!\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Provenance<\/strong><br \/>\nAronson Antiquairs, Amsterdam, 2003<br \/>\nDutch Private Collection<\/p>\n<p><strong>Condition<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ears and horns restored<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delft, circa 1765<\/p>\n<p>Both objects are marked with numeral 3 in iron-red.<\/p>\n<p>Each cow with a manganese spotted hide and forelock, iron-red tail and lapping tongue, blue delineated features, and yellow hooves and horns, wearing a colorful garland of flowers around its neck and back.
