英文說明:Cattle muzzles were made of woven bamboo or of iron wire. Their construction varied depending on the size of the cattle involved. Larger muzzles were made for larger oxen, and smaller ones for smaller individuals. Cattle were muzzled when being turned out in the fields in order to prevent them eating the crops or plants by the roadside. If an animal ate another person's crops, the owner had to pay a fine.
