Designed by Wiseman Ndlovu in South Africa in 2024, this pair of Big 5 urns is a breathtaking tribute to Africa’s iconic wildlife and vibrant landscapes. Sculpted by George and Thabo, each urn showcases a detailed depiction of the Big 5 animals —lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo—captured in dynamic poses that bring the spirit of the savanna to life. The hand-painted surface, crafted by Wiseman, features intricate foliage in rich coral, blue, and green hues, blending harmoniously with the textured representations of the animals. The lids are crowned with sculpted buffalo figures symbolizing strength and resilience, while a band of prowling leopards. These urns are a monumental celebration of African artistry, combining traditional ceramic techniques with bold, contemporary designs that honor the region’s wildlife and cultural heritage.
