Wood Carved Water Buffalo

Wood Carved Water Buffalo

Approximately 8" x 3 3/4"

Picked up this water buffalo with some other items. I love wood carved animals. This one shows some wear, but cleaned up good and has a nice patina. Has a little damage behind the right ear, but price reflected that and dispkays fine. Has nice carvings throughout the body area, normally these are plain.

Water Buffalo
At least 130 million water buffaloes exist, and more people depend on them, than any other domestic animal. They are especially suitable for tilling rice fields, and their milk is richer in fat and protein than that of dairy cattle.
