The Grassland Pixie

Sculpture of a Steen Buck

Bronze Africa ‘The Grassland Pixie’

I was raised in the midlands of Rhodesia where this little antelope was seen every day if you were out in the bush. I was given a .22 rifle when I was still a very young boy and this animal, as far as my Dad was concerned, was Royal Game and I was never allowed to hunt one.

The Steen Buck is diurnal and hardly moves at night and as such was not a fellow that bothered my mother’s flowers and her vegetables under the cover of darkness.

To this day I hold this little red antelope in high esteem and whenever I am in Africa it remains a real pleasure to see them and to realize that they are still wandering the grasslands of Southern Africa.
