The Warthog is another iconic animal of Africa and is most frequently seen kneeling foresting for food. It is mainly a grazer and has adapted an interesting practice of kneeling on its calloused, hairy, padded knees to eat short grass. Using its snout and tusks, it also digs for bulbs, tubers and roots during the dry season.

ZAWADI SCULPTURES AND FIGURINES:
Zawadis first collection of African figurines was produced in 1996 and sold out promptly with customers immediately placing repeat orders. So began the ever growing demand for the range they called Zawadi, the Swahili word for gift.
Now more than 25 years later Zawadi is a known brand, and is becoming increasingly renowned the world over. Zawadi designs and develops its many ranges in Knysna, with innovation and quality being key words. Zawadi silver plated and bronze patina decor range of statement pieces has brought wild Africa into the modern interior using luxurious metals and finishes to meet the demand of discerning buyers with an eye for the exotic and the timeless.
Zawadi statuettes are made of cold-cast bronze, which allows it to keep the look and durability of bronze. More than just an ordinary figurines, their sculptures tell the story of Africa; its animals, its tribes, its history and its struggles.
 
COLD CAST BRONZE:
The process of Cold Cast Bronze is made by mixing real bronze powder with a bonding paste and then applying it under pressure to the surface of the piece. This leaves a thin coat of bronze, which gives the piece the look and feel of a solid bronze sculpture. The Zawadi bronzed range is not bronze painted, and as a result will not fade or tarnish. After the Cold Cast process is completed, each piece is then hand detailed by hand to add emphasis and contrast. There are also no visible mold joins in the Zawadi range items.
