Description
This bronze Buffalo Head is defined by mass and presence. The broad skull and sweeping horns are rendered with sculptural economy, allowing form and silhouette to dominate. Waites’ surface treatment is deliberately restrained, with a dark, earthy patina that enhances the sense of age and endurance. The forward-facing composition creates an immediate engagement, while subtle asymmetries prevent the work from feeling static or overly formal. There is a tension here, as though the animal is held in a moment of watchful stillness.
