About the Item
The Ceramic Wild Dog Monkey Rider, a captivating creation from Zimele Ceramics, South Africa, is a standout piece in the African Circus collection. Hand-sculpted by Sneh and hand-painted by Selle, this piece measures 5 inches high, with its intricate details bringing the scene to life.
In this imaginative work, a wild dog and a monkey ride together, showcasing a delightful and symbolic pairing. This design reflects the essence of the African Circus collection, which Victor describes as a representation of the universal human pursuit of security and sustenance. The wild dog, known for its resourcefulness and social nature, contrasts beautifully with the monkey, symbolizing agility and playfulness. Together, they illustrate the interconnectedness of wildlife and human experience The piece highlights the emotional core of the collection: unity and mutual support. In African culture, animals are often imbued with symbolic meanings and their depiction in art is a way to express deeper truths about life and society. The wild dog and monkey, amidst the colorful and expressive brushwork, convey a narrative of shared journey and cooperation, emphasizing how every being, whether human or animal, strives for safety and nourishment.
The collaboration between Sneh and Selle resulted in a vibrant and endearing piece that combines traditional African art with contemporary storytelling. The playful nature of the wild dog and monkey, paired with the intricate detailing and vivid colors, captures the spirit of the collection—celebrating the beauty of life’s shared experiences and the warmth of helping one another, even when it may seem challenging.
