"Nborro and Olawaru"©
Bronze, 39 x 15 and 37 x 18 inches
Limited editions of 20
Nborro ($5500), Olawaru $5,500.

Nborro are the long blue beads worn by this exquisitely adorned Masai female. This is truly an elegant sculpture with fine detail. She stands proudly with one hand on her hip and the other balancing a large decorated gourd on her head.


 

Olawaru or lion's mane headdress, is the Masai warrior man's most cherished possession, for it proclaims he has killed a lion. This sculpture compliments Nborro and depicts the male Masai warrior with his spear and decorated shield, wearing the olawaru.
