Ardmore Ceramic Lizard Sculpture, hand made in South Africa

About the Item

In the verdant landscapes of South Africa, Ardmore Ceramics births a wonder: the Lizard Sculpture. Crafted by the hands of Somandla Ntshalintshali and painted by the talented Misiwe Hadebe Ntshalinsthali, it stands 2 inches tall, stretching 5 inches in length and 4 inches in width. This whimsical piece, with its modern and playful shape, captures the essence of African wildlife. The lizard, with its mouth agape, embodies a sense of curiosity and vitality. Painted in hues of lime green and dark green, its dorsal details add a touch of realism to this charming sculpture. A tribute to the vibrant biodiversity of Africa, this sculpture invites you to elevate your home decor with a dash of natural charm and humor. Each Ardmore ceramic piece is a collaborative process. Some pieces begin with the thrower creating the shape on the wheel. Then the sculptor hand-forms the figurative elements in clay. Realistic animals and foliage take shape in skillful hands, before the finished piece is fired in the kiln and allowed to cool. The piece is then given to the painter who skillfully paints it. Upon completion, the piece is fired in the kiln again. The next step is the glazing. Once glazed, the piece is fired a final time and ready for sale.
