Carved from a Zululand Hardwood probably Mthombothi. This particular white rhino was carved by a man in the Hluhluwe game reserve area in the 1970's Its fairly unusual being a hardwood as most of the animal carvings sold at the roadsides at that time, which were mostly crocodiles, tall birds rhinos and snakes were finished by using a red dye, burning and waxing. They were carved from a softer wood.
Mthombothi was traditionally used to build the stockades around homesteads. The Iziqu necklace, signifying bravery in a warrior, was also carved from hardwoods such as Mthombothi.
It is reddish brown, with lighter blotches that shimmer brightly in the sunlight when carved. This carving has a nice patina from age.
Suggested shipping by Pargo Couriers at R60.00 to a collection point of your choice.
