Little Trunks Wall Hanging

Vukari
One of a kind - 90cm x 125cm
I have this long, weird thing hanging off my face. I have tried to shake it off me or simply throw it at one of my cousins, but nothing works. It’s most frustrating as I tend to trip over it.
And then I’m reminded, as I feel the gentle reassurance of a much bigger one of these things. It softly caresses me. This loving touch comes from her, my magnificent mother, the matriarch of my family herd.
She carried me for nearly two years, so finding my feet as it were, after birth, took an hour or so.
About Vukari
We tell our legendary tales from Africa through art…Set against the backdrop of an enchanting Zululand, our tales are richly textured with all that we have learned from our elders. Unveiling new horizons in art, we blend myth, legend and magic in each art piece, capturing the charm of our people, our creatures and our customs.
Working with ethically harvested Nguni hides, we strengthen our connection to land and nature, allowing the diversity of colours from the beautiful Zulu cattle complement the inspiration behind each tale.
And so we catch dappled sunlight dancing over a rhino with her calf, or create the atmosphere of awe as an elephant emerges from the darkness of night into the moonlight…
In the heart of Zululand, elders gather around firesides to share their tales. This is the hearth of collective consciousness where flickering flames illuminate the traditional screen of life. Images larger than life loom and dance across the cave walls breathing life into heroic tales and embedding the elders’ silhouetted gems of wisdom in the archives of imagination.
