Ceramic Bird And Frog Rider, Hand made in South Africa
About the Item
The Ceramic Water Bird Frog Rider, crafted by Zimele Ceramics in South Africa, is a distinctive piece from the African Circus collection. Hand-sculpted by MpIIo and hand-painted by Victor, this sculpture stands 11 inches high and features a delightful depiction of a frog riding a water bird.
The water bird and frog together symbolize a fascinating interplay between two different elements of African wildlife. The water bird, with its graceful presence and affinity for aquatic environments, represents freedom and adaptability. The frog, known for its transformation and adaptability, complements this with its own symbolism of renewal and resilience. This pairing highlights a harmonious balance between different aspects of nature, reflecting the interconnectedness of life.
Victor’s hand-painted details bring the sculpture to life with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, celebrating the beauty of African wildlife. The design reflects traditional African art, where animals are often depicted with symbolic meaning, celebrating their roles in the ecosystem and in cultural narratives.
The African Circus collection, as described by Victor, explores themes of unity, support, and the fundamental human quest for food and safety. The Water Bird Frog Rider embodies these themes, illustrating how diverse elements can come together in a supportive and harmonious manner. This piece captures the essence of African art's ability to convey deeper truths about life and community.
Through this unique sculpture, Zimele Ceramics combines artistry with cultural significance, showcasing the beauty and symbolism of African wildlife in a piece that is both visually striking and rich in meaning.
