Ceramic large Pangolin sculpture, hand made in South Africa
About the Item
This extraordinary Pangolin Sculpture is a rare, one-of-a-kind ceramic piece, masterfully sculpted by Motsaman and intricately hand-painted by Jabu Nene of Love Art Ceramics in South Africa. Revered as one of Africa’s most unique and endangered creatures, the pangolin is often called the “scaly anteater,” known for its distinctive armor of protective keratin scales and its graceful, curling posture.
In African folklore, the pangolin symbolizes peace and protection. Its ability to roll into a perfect sphere is believed to ward off negative energies, embodying the values of resilience and defense without aggression. This powerful symbolism is captured beautifully in this sculpture, where the mother pangolin lovingly cradles her young—an intimate portrait of care, strength, and vulnerability.
Each scale of this piece has been individually sculpted and painted by hand, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The textured base, with its geometric patterns and subtle earthy tones, completes the composition, adding elegance and balance to the work.
This collectible sculpture stands not only as a stunning decorative piece but also as a meaningful tribute to wildlife conservation and the vital need to protect species at risk.
