South African Bead & Wire Animal Collection 
 
The Collections
African Allsorts
The Masterpiece Collection is a range of sophisticated, imposing animal sculptures created by renowned artist Lincoln Bongani. Meticulous attention to detail, superior craftsmanship and a labour of love have resulted in a truly special collectible for the art connoisseur.
 
The Wild at Art Collection is a finely sculpted, intricately detailed, limited edition collection of animal figurines by master artist Enock Mpofu for the discerning art collector. Each piece is the culmination of many hours of highly skilled work, patience and dedication. Bearing a striking resemblance to its counterpart that roams the wilds, each work of art is signed by Enock and is numbered.  See more...
