About the Item

The Ceramic Royal Rhino with Leopard Skin and Monkey, crafted by Zimele Ceramics in South Africa, is a striking piece from the African Circus collection. Hand-sculpted by Mpilo and hand-painted by Victor, this artwork measures 10 inches high, 0 inches in length, and 9 inches wide, embodying both artistry and cultural depth. This piece features a majestic rhino adorned with a leopard skin pattern, symbolizing strength and elegance, while a playful monkey perches atop. The rhino, a symbol of resilience and endurance in African culture, is depicted with a touch of regal grandeur through the leopard skin motif. The leopard's distinctive spots add an element of opulence and highlight the rhino’s significance as a revered animal in the region. The monkey, often associated with agility and cleverness, adds a whimsical contrast to the powerful presence of the rhino. Together, they represent a harmonious balance of strength and cunning, reflecting the interconnectedness of nature and life. This playful pairing underscores the broader themes of the African Circus collection, which Victor describes as inspired by the quest for food and safety—a universal pursuit shared by all creatures. The hand-painted details capture the vibrant essence of African art, with intricate patterns that reflect traditional motifs and the rich biodiversity of the continent. The leopard skin design, combined with the lively depiction of the monkey, showcases the creative collaboration and cultural narrative that define this piece.
