About the Item

The Monkey urn pair, meticulously crafted by Love Art Ceramic in South Africa, epitomizes the fusion of artistry and cultural symbolism. Hand-sculpted by the skilled hands of Zimhle, Sfiso, and Motsamay, this pair stands 22 inches high, 8 inches long, and 9 inches wide. Every detail reflects the rich tapestry of African culture, as seen in the sculpted handles shaped like upside-down banana trees, symbolizing abundance and fertility. Monkeys, revered in African folklore for their wit and agility, adorn the lids, clutching ripe bananas—a nod to the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. Banana leaves, delicately rendered, cascade over the urns, evoking the lush landscapes of Africa. The vibrant orange patterns against a cream background not only capture the eye but also pay homage to traditional African aesthetics. As vessels for ashes, these urns transcend mere functionality, becoming vessels of cultural heritage and spiritual significance, embodying the enduring bond between humans, animals, and the natural world in African belief systems.
