Zawadi
African Wild Hunting Dog

2024

About the Item

African Wild Hunting Dog – With an impressive 80 percent success rate, wild dogs are among Africa’s most effective predators. Lions only prevail around 30 percent of the time. Even with their finely honed hunting skills, they are one of the world’s most endangered large carnivores. Like satellite dishes, the large rounded ears of African wild dogs swivel to detect minute sounds in the distance. These dogs have only 4 toes as they lack the 5th dew claw that other dogs have. With Zawadi’s eye for detail, this is clearly shown in our sculpture. To see these beautiful animals in the wild is a true privilege and a special treat. This bronze sculpture was cast using the "lost wax" technique, and great attention was applied to the accuracy and details of this beautiful wild animal. It is a statement piece for discerning buyers, which brings a level of sophistication and appeal, for the ideal home. Zawadi’s sculptures have added features that put them above the rest, such as treating them with a nano-technology protective coating, that protects and enhances the shine, and felt underneath to prevent scratching surfaces. Zawadi takes great care in making sure our sculptures are of the finest quality, to ensure many years of enjoyment !

Silver-plated bronze baby giraffe sculpture
Located in Knysna, ZA
Giraffes grow to nearly their full height of 5.5 mt (18ft) by four years of age but gain weight until they are seven or eight. Males weigh up to 1,930 kg (4,250 pounds), and females up to 1,180 kg (2,600 pounds). They can reach speeds of 50 km (31 miles) per hour and can maintain this for several kilometers, but 60 km (37 miles) per hour can be attained over short distances. This giraffe silver-plated bronze sculpture is ideal to grace those larger interior spaces of a home or corporate environment and is sure to become a talking point. The sculpture is cast in bronze, and then silver-plated. The "lost wax" technique was used in casting, which is the preferred method, as it brings out every fine detail of the original sculpture. Zawadi’s sculptures have added features that put them above the rest, such as treating them with a nano-technology protective coating, that protects and enhances the shine, premium quality black paints used for the spots, felt pads under the feet to prevent scratching surfaces, etc. Zawadi takes great care in making sure our sculptures are of the finest quality, to ensure many years of enjoyment !
