The zebra, rendered with bold black and cream stripes and vivid red accents, embodies the spirit of the African plains, while the rider’s colorful attire and poised demeanor evoke stories of childhood, freedom, and connection to nature. Every detail, from the delicate braid of her hair to the finely painted hooves, reflects the skilled artistry and cultural storytelling of South African ceramic traditions. This collectible sculpture brings an authentic touch of safari-inspired décor and celebrates the harmony between people and wildlife.
