This anonymous, mid-20th century tavern sign features a painted depiction of a bull’s head, likely intended to attract customers to the establishment. The faded paint, worn wood, and rustic style evoke a sense of tradition and history, suggesting a long-standing tavern. The inscription "The Oxens Inn" further underscores the sign's purpose and adds to its charm. This piece provides a glimpse into the visual culture of taverns and signage in the 20th century.
