Tony Mackel: Marble, Buffalo

Mac-kel With its seamless blend of artistry and technical expertise, this grey marble buffalo carving serves as a striking centerpiece in any decor, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for nature's own creations while exemplifying the highest standards of art. Bison (Si:wolo) is especially important to the Plains Indians. These magnificent animals were the basis of their lifeway before they were hunted to extinction by the white man. While not a traditional fetish subject for the Zunis, all animals have meaning and Bison reminds us of abundance and prayer.   Dimensions: Length: 3 1/2" X Width: 1" X Height: 1 3/4" Purchased
