Daggaboy Sculpture - Limited Edition of 20

An African Buffalo is not only known as one of the Big 5, but as a force to be reckoned with. Even a lion knows to tread lightly around it, for without the help of its pride members, this horned beast will surely triumph. It is considered one of the most unpredictable creatures, for unlike any other African animal, the Cape Buffalo gives little to no warning before attacking. When bluffing, some animals like to make themselves look bigger while others make noise to seem threatening. The buffalo does not change its colours based on a fake or real charge. He gives no scowl, or bark or flick of the tail to tell you whether or not to call his bluff. The only indication you get that he is aware of your presence is a raised head. He has poor eyesight, but his nose is one of the strongest in the bushveld. He will raise his nose until it is level with his eyes, and once he has locked on to you the earth will tremble as he charges towards you, as if tracing a line in the sand. I wanted to capture the most intimidating moment one would find when facing the one known to locals as “The Black Death”. Of all the animals in the African bushveld, it is truly one to both admire and fear. Daggaboy is a slang term used by South Africans to refer to an old, loner bull that has been banished from the heard (usually by rival young bulls). It is more vulnerable without the group, but still stronger than most African creatures in the bushveld. This art piece is a solid piece of bronze, weighing in at 4.45kg (9.8 pounds) with its granite base.
