About the Item

The Ceramic Buffalo Bush Baby Rider, a remarkable piece from Zimele Ceramics, is a vivid testament to the studio's artistic vision and cultural depth. Hand-sculpted by Nokubonga and hand-painted by Victor, this charming creation stands 10 inches high, with a width of 8 inches and no length, capturing a whimsical yet profound narrative. The piece features a bush baby perched atop a buffalo, a delightful juxtaposition that embodies the essence of African wildlife and the broader thematic elements of the African Circus collection. Victor's collection, inspired by the dynamic interplay between wildlife and human life, explores fundamental human desires for sustenance and security. The bush baby and buffalo combination reflects a harmony and mutual support between the animal and its environment, resonating with African cultural values. In African symbolism, the buffalo represents strength, resilience, and the nurturing aspects of nature, while the bush baby, a small nocturnal primate, symbolizes adaptability and resourcefulness. Their union on this piece serves as a metaphor for the balance and support needed in life, echoing the idea that every creature, big or small, plays a role in the larger ecosystem of community and support. The African Circus collection, as described by Victor, reflects a rich narrative of unity and shared prosperity. The piece illustrates the core message that providing support to others enriches the whole community, a sentiment deeply embedded in African traditions and communal values. The Buffalo Bush Baby Rider, with its charming design and thoughtful symbolism, stands as a testament to this philosophy, celebrating the interconnectedness of all beings and the joy found in collaborative creativity.
