Crafted with exceptional precision, the Big Five Urn Pair features the iconic wildlife of Africa—lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos. Each urn serves as a canvas, intricately painted to bring these majestic creatures to life against lush landscapes. The figures are modeled in three dimensions, with the leopard in mid-prowl and the elephant in a regal stance. Dynamic reliefs of a rhino and a buffalo complement the high-relief flora, adding depth and a lifelike presence to each piece.

These urns are crafted from high-quality ceramics and finished with a blend of matte and gloss techniques, enhancing the textures from the rough hide of the animals to the smooth, verdant foliage. The artistry of sculptors George and Thabo, paired with Wiseman’s painting, marks these urns as the pinnacle of ceramic craftsmanship.
