Giraffe
Ancient cultures in Africa revere the giraffe, and commonly depicted it in prehistoric rock and cave paintings. The giraffes are magnificent in appearance and unique in gait.
The Giraffe is vulnerable when drinking. It is a quiet species although the males fight viciously for dominance over the group. Giraffes are found in arid savannah zones south of the Sahara, wherever trees occur.
About The Artist
mulungisi
Mulungisi is fortunate because he lives and works close to the animals he carves. This gives him the opportunity to study the shape and form of the animals.
His carving is done exclusively in Iron Wood, an exceptionally heavy and durable African wood. This wood is naturally resistant to insects, and carving Iron Wood requires both skill and patience. The strength of Iron Wood allows finer detailing than is only possible with this class of wood.
