1 Lady Olive Dish

  This unique piece, featuring a bowl within a bowl is perfect for fruit such as cherries or olives. Given together with a jar of some of South Africa's excellent preserves, this makes a truly special gift. Each of these bowls is wheel thrown from stoneware clay and the hand-molded African angel lady figure is added with skill and care. The bowl's angel wears her traditional headscarf in typical African fashion. “UMUNTU ngumuntu ngabantu” is a complex Nguni word that means “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”  Or in English,  “I am what I am because of who we all are."   In Africa, the definition of an individual is community-based and not individualist. Zizamele's Ubuntu pieces represent this philosophy. H4"xW8.75XD5.5
