The Animalia collection opens with Taurus and Equinus, two creations inspired by animals which are symbols of freedom, courage and nobility. Both creations recreate in great detail the undeniable magnetism of these majestic creatures that remind us that we form part of a larger incredible world. Taurus and Equinus capture the beauty of the animal kingdom and defend the value of their existence.

At once realist and stylized, these representations are an example of the detailed prior anatomical study undertaken by our artists and the precision of the modelling.

The result is a creation with great expressive strength that speaks to the character of African art.

The serene facial features, masterfully sculpted, are rounded off with a decoration using luster and metallic colors. Particularly noteworthy are the details etched in the earrings and pendant and the ornamental work recreating the intricate braiding of the hair.

And in the vase, the deep black color of the vase itself is enhanced with a snake in golden luster that winds around it.
