About the Item

Introducing the Buffalo Plate, a stunning ceramic artwork meticulously hand-painted by Nompilo Zaba and hand-sculpted by Victor Shabalala at Zimele Ceramics in South Africa. Measuring 1 inch high, 11 inches in length, and 11 inches in width, this beautifully crafted plate features a vibrant depiction of buffaloes against a lovely green background, embodying the essence of African wildlife and culture.

Nompilo Zaba’s hand-painted design captures the essence of these majestic creatures with detailed brushwork, bringing their robust forms and distinctive features to life. The buffaloes are set against a rich, green background that evokes the lush vegetation of the African landscape, reflecting the harmony between wildlife and nature. The background’s vibrant hues and subtle patterns highlight traditional African art influences, adding depth and context to the piece. Victor Shabalala’s expert sculpting ensures that the plate serves as an exquisite canvas for the artwork. The plate’s smooth, tactile surface and elegant contours enhance the detailed painting, making it a visually striking piece and a functional work of art. The Buffalo Plate from Zimele Ceramics is more than a decorative item; it is a celebration of African heritage and the symbolic significance of the buffalo. It beautifully captures the spirit of African wildlife, crafted with exceptional skill and artistry, and makes a stunning addition to any collection or decor.
