Senzo Ntshalintshali's commanding sculpture cleverly links this modern American breed, with its distinctive horns, derived from the Sanga cattle of east and central Africa, to its African origin through the rider, an African warrior dressed in full tribal attire, who sits aboard the magnificent Ankole. Artist Sbongile Ntombela's rich color palette, used for the unique patterns of the animal's hide and for the rider and his attire, gives an intensity to this stand-out piece of ceramic art.
