The body transitions from a deep, almost black green at the top, through a smoky gradient, down to clear glass at the legs and underside, giving the figure a sense of weight while still maintaining an airy transparency. The horns and muzzle are carefully shaped but simplified, allowing the emphasis to fall on the play of light within the glass rather than intricate detail. The polished surface reflects its surroundings, making the buffalo shift visually depending on the angle and lighting.

In a space, this piece would work beautifully on a solid wood credenza or a marble coffee table, where natural or directed light could catch the gradations in the glass. Paired with other mid-century decorative objects—perhaps a Murano vase, a bronze dish, or even a minimal abstract painting—it would take on the role of a centerpiece. Its form bridges natural strength with sleek craftsmanship, giving a room both grounding and elegance. See less
