Photographs don't do the beauty and artistry of this piece justice. Carved with detail, this buffalo exudes power and energy. The head bowed takes the potential direct menace of the piece allowing the observer to really experience the skill of the work, by an undoubtedly talented artist. The buffalo is very reminiscent of the bull in Picasso's famed bullfighter pieces. The power, the bulk, the beauty. The artist deserves accolades for the skill and patience involved in creating this sublimely evocative piece. The dialogue that has ensued with the seller has been a pleasure, customer service impeccable. This store is one of a handful, I would recommend as must see destination if you are looking for something unique, very special and affordable. Outstanding!
