Japanese Antique Wood-Carved Water Buffalo/ Wooden Figurine/ Wabi-Sabi Primitive
About the Item
This is a wooden carved buffalo that has weathered naturally over the years.
It was used in a private home in the Tohoku region and is thought to have undergone gradual changes due to exposure to rain and wind.
It is carefully hand-carved from what appears to be hardwood.
The legs are chipped due to weathering, but the buffalo is stable and stands on its own with three legs.
Over time, the paint on the surface has peeled off, unintentionally revealing a natural, withered look.
There is value in things that are born naturally over time without human intervention.
It is also recommended to display it as a figurine in your space.
* There is a chipped leg and a hole in the back. Please check the photo.
