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.
