An exceptional piece of American folk art, this impressive, vintage, hand-carved bison (also known as the American buffalo) captures the iconic spirit of the American West. Expertly rendered from a single, solid piece of wood, the sculpture features a walking posture with intricate details in the fur, horns, and musculature. The artist has achieved a striking sense of movement and life, which speaks to a high degree of craftsmanship. A warm, natural patina adds to its vintage charm and authenticity. The craftsman's skill is evident in the intricate textures of the fur, the proud stance, and the expressive features. The wood has developed a beautiful, rich patina over time that enhances its rustic character and appeal.
