Description
This one-of-a-kind ceramic sculpture, hand-sculpted and hand-painted in South Africa, depicts a young African figure riding a majestic zebra with grace and joy. The rider wears a vibrantly patterned dress and beaded necklace, a nod to traditional Zulu ceremonial attire that symbolizes heritage, status, and connection to nature. The zebra — an icon of the African savanna — represents harmony and individuality within community, its striking stripes celebrated in South African folklore. Each detail, from the rider’s serene expression to the zebra’s lively posture, reflects the artisanal skill and cultural storytelling unique to this work. A true celebration of Zulu artistry and the importance of wildlife in African culture, this collectible piece evokes the spirit of safari and the bonds between people and animals. Titled Queen Mantombi, the rider honors the spirit of African womanhood and the matriarchal presence in Zulu culture, blending folklore and wildlife in a celebration of heritage.
