This buffalo appears to be looking at something or someone with benevolence, which is good because powerful beings can also be a little more bold than us humans are comfortable with.  Jonas Hustito carved it from jasper and inlaid turquoise eyes.  It is so well detailed with the hooves, face, tail, and fur well defined.

Buffalo, or American bison, roamed the plains in the millions from Northern Mexico into Canada before colonization.  Buffalo are sacred to many Native American people.  They provided so much the people needed: food, clothing, leather to line tipis and make parfleches which are beautifully painted rawhide containers, tools, and so much more.  There has been success in recent years to bring the buffalo back to the plains, especially to Native American tribes on the plains.
