21st Century Hand Sculpted "Laathlela" Tree by Atang Tshikare
About the Item
Lathlela in Setswana means ‘to throw’. Here Tshikare designed a tree, but with the focus on the leaves to tell the story of how “the pre-rain wind blows the leaves off and carries them into the air to a new space so the leaves would plant and grow further. Sometimes warriors used it during a hunting party because it was light and flew far without a lot of effort”. Designing the leaves as spears, Tshikare hand carved them from solid wood to fit on the bronzed branch. Each leaf is perfectly sanded and treated with a specially selected colour varnish to retain the natural look and feel of the wood as it is offset against the metallic patina of the bronze.
