Herds move as one, but old bulls often break away and live alone, and it's this solitary figure that Carol Bryant sculpts here. The pose is grounded and still, head held low, eyes forward. Nothing about the stance asks for attention, yet it holds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBryant works in resin for this piece, a material that lets her build fine surface texture, the ridges of the boss, the folds around the neck, without the weight or cost of bronze casting. The result reads as convincingly as any larger work in the collection and suits a garden bed, a shaded veranda corner or an entrance hall equally well. Resin holds detail well outdoors, but a spot out of prolonged direct sun keeps the surface looking sharp for longest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCape Buffalo forms part of '\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benguelacove.co.za\/pages\/carol-bryant-sculpture-artist-exhibition\" title=\"Where the wild things come to rest Exhibition\"\u003eWhere the wild things come to rest\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e', Carol Bryant's outdoor exhibition at Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate, running from 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2027.

The first impression was of a grumpy old man. But in fact, I think he was a solitary male, and the malevolent glare was just caution, or even his natural expression.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCape Buffalo Sculpture Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44 x 39 x 52 cm (L x W x H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e On enquiry \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/benguelacove.co.za\/pages\/carol-bryant-sculpture-artist-exhibition#Sculpture_enquiry\" title=\"Cape Buffalo Sculpture Enquiry\"\u003eEnquire Now\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55704879759433,"sku":"CBCBS2026","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/6151\/1241\/files\/Cape_Buffalo_Carol_Bryant.png?v=1783937637","url":"https:\/\/benguelacove.co.za\/products\/cape-buffalo","provider":"Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
