Langa Mug

R 200,00

My heritage is Zulu, and I am so proud to represent my culture through this ceramic work. I chose traditional Zulu triangle patterns because they are incredibly unique and stand out in any collection. Using the slab method and earthenware clay, I carefully outlined each shape to honor the designs my dad and I grew up with. The yellow and blue colors aren't just pretty; they represent my surname, Langa, which connects me to the sun and the sky. This mug is more than just a dish; it is a piece of African tradition you can hold in your hands. Buy this today to celebrate Zulu craft and support the Ikemeleng Foundation.
