About the Item

y interpretation of a Samburu herdsman stands as a sentinel of tradition, his life a tapestry woven with the threads of pastoral wisdom and the enduring spirit of the African savannah. This Samburu forms part of my evolving figurative series, celebrating the strength, heritage, and timeless presence of Africa’s tribal people. The Samburu people of Kenya possess a deeply symbiotic relationship with elephants, observing and understanding them in remarkable ways that mirror their own societal structures. They share a common matriarchal social system with elephants, where both Samburu and elephant herds are led by a female elder who holds the knowledge and responsibility for the group's survival. This unique parallel has fostered a profound respect and protection for these majestic creatures within the Samburu culture. Limited edition of 24. My bronze art and furniture are inspired by Africa’s wonderful wildlife and people. Taking inspiration from the bush and my previous experience as a safari guide, my creations strive to capture the essence and beauty of the animals and people I sculpt. Each piece is exclusively sculpted, cast, finished and patinated by myself. Using the lost wax method of bronzing each sculpture is cast by me in my Black Dog Foundry. With every sculpture individually hand finished and patinated no two sculptures will be exactly the same, with each piece having its own unique patina colouration. All works are signed and numbered editions.
