Kifaru wa Porini – Wild Buffalo Sculpture

Charge into the spirit of the savannah with the Kifaru wa Porini, a hand-carved African buffalo sculpted from richly grained jacaranda wood. Each piece is brought to life by a Kamba artisan from Kenya's Eastern region, renowned for their mastery in transforming wood into detailed wildlife portraits. The buffalo — a symbol of strength, resilience, and protection in many Kenyan communities — is captured mid-stride, with carefully chiseled horns and muscular contours that reflect its commanding presence in the wild. Natural wood tones, enhanced with a gentle polish of beeswax, bring out the buffalo's rugged beauty while preserving the integrity of the carving. Whether placed on a mantle or gifted to a wildlife enthusiast, this sculpture serves as a meaningful tribute to the Big Five and the enduring connection between Kenya’s people and its wild heritage.
