Buffalo Pin
The American Bison, commonly known as the American Buffalo, is a symbol of the American West. Before their near-extinction, they roamed the prairies from Canada to Mexico. Recently they have made a significant recovery. This piece by Cavin Richie elegantly captures a buffalo galloping across the plains. The pin is attached with two nickel posts. The Buffalo is about 1½ inches long and 1¼ inches tall. Bronze. Made in USA.

Cavin Richie
Cavin Richie grew up in Colorado surrounded by the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. He moved to Washington State in 1970 and has lived near the sea ever since. Cavin's designs are a reflection of his surroundings. His line includes birds, mammals and amphibians, all accurately detailed. For the past thirty years he has carved with shed elk antler and woolly mammoth ivory. These carvings became the basis for his lost wax casting jewelry.
"Carving," says Cavin "is like touching antiquity. I feel a kinship with a long lineage of carvers dating back to the Pleistocene."
We are pleased to offer these solid bronze lost wax castings. A patina complements the earthy metal, giving each piece a unique finish.
