Ceramic Rhinos Plate, Hand made in South Africa
By Zimele Ceramics
Located in North Miami, FL
Introducing the Rhino Plate, a remarkable ceramic creation crafted with precision by the talented Nompilo Zaba and hand-sculpted by Victor Shabalala at Zimele Ceramics in South Africa. Measuring 1 inch high, 10 inches in length, and 10 inches in width, this hand-painted plate is a true masterpiece that celebrates the majesty of African wildlife. The plate features a stunning portrayal of the rhinoceros, an iconic symbol of strength and endurance in African culture. Rhinos, with their formidable presence and ancient lineage, are often seen as symbols of protection and resilience. They are deeply revered in African traditions for their role in the ecosystem and their status as majestic, yet endangered creatures. Nompilo Zaba’s intricate hand-painting vividly captures the rhino's powerful form and unique features, including its distinctive horns and rugged skin. The design showcases the rhino in a naturalistic setting, highlighted against a backdrop of earthy, vibrant colors that evoke the rich textures of the African savannah. The artistic composition reflects the deep connection between African wildlife and the environment, blending traditional patterns and motifs with a contemporary touch. Victor Shabalala’s sculpting expertise ensures that the plate is not only a canvas for this beautiful artwork but also a testament to the high quality of South African pottery...
