Large Tobey Ceramic Signed American Southwestern Modern Buffalo Sculpture
By Tobey
Located in Forney, TX
A uniquely brilliant American ceramic sculpture capturing the essence of a buffalo, in southwestern modern style by celebrated husband and wife artists Gene (1945-2006) & Rebecca Tobey (b.1948).
This large sculpture dates to the late 20th century, decorated in rich polychrome design depicting lizard and dessert mountainous / southwestern landscape in mixed media glazed and matte finishes.

Dimensions (approx):
