Zenzile Wall Art
Zenzile means ‘They did’
Dating back to the late 1800s, iziqhaza (ear plugs) designs drew inspiration from traditional beadwork
motifs. However, post-1930s, influences shifted with artisans employed in urban centers,
drawing inspiration from Art Deco architecture and even household detergents like sunbeam
floor polish.
This piece isn’t a direct translations of traditional designs; instead, it is symbolically
celebrates African traditional practices and processes, embodying craftsmanship, creativity, and
timelessness.
Made from grass beads, this is a 1/1 piece.
