The Leopard and Baboon rider sculpture, Hand made in South Africa

About the Item

Leopard & Baboon Rider Sculpture Handcrafted Ceramic – One of a Kind An irresistibly playful and detailed ceramic piece, this sculpture features a baboon confidently riding atop a regal leopard. The baboon carries a teal satchel, while the leopard strides forward with a bird delicately held in its mouth. Rich in storytelling, the sculpture blends strength, curiosity, and the unexpected companionship of two iconic African animals. Hand-sculpted and hand-painted in South Africa, this is a one-of-a-kind collectible showcasing extraordinary attention to detail—from the expressive eyes to the intricate fur patterns. A true conversation piece, this sculpture captures the whimsy and artistry that defines the Zimele studio's signature style. Artist Studio: Zimele
