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. Reticulated design to buffalo's back. Open panels revealing red glazed interior add depth and dimension, raised and incised exterior decoration. Signed, "Tobey" to the foot.
