3Lady Ubuntu Bowl Metallic on Charcoal

This is the signature product of Zizamele Ceramics. The African version of the friendship bowl, each of these bowls is wheel thrown from charcoal clay with skill and care.  

This bowl has 3 hand-modelled African lady figures who hold hands while they sit together around the rim. They wear their African headscarves and carry their babies tied to their backs in traditional fashion. The geometric African patterns are hand-painted using white and metallic glazes. 

In Africa, the definition of an individual is community-based and not individualist. The Ubuntu bowls with their women sitting together in a spirit of Ubuntu, represent this philosophy.
