Zulu Mother and Baby by Thembi Mchunu

$95.00
This was created over 30 years ago by the famous Zulu artist Thembi Mchunu, and we collected it in South Africa in 1992. It has been in our own personal collection, but is now available.

Delightful soft-sculpture dolls like this often depict scenes from the cultural life of the women who make them. Themes included traditional world of marriage, motherhood and home, as well as a wider experience of sport and town-life. Thembi Mchunu is the initiator of this craft in 1982.
Her creativity is inspired by recalling the joys of childhood games, traditional umbondo (bridal gift- giving), beer-brewing and dance competitions for dolls.
