Description
At dawn on the savanna, the grass turns gold and the acacias throw long shadows. A calf only hours old tries to stand, folds, tries again. Above her, impossibly tall, her mother waits, then lowers her long neck until their noses touch. A guide in the safari jeep turns off the engine. Nobody speaks. Even the birds seem to hold their song for a moment.
This porcelain pair captures that quiet bond, the mother’s elegant height leaning toward the small calf at her side. Their patchwork coats are painted in warm tans and browns. It is a beautiful choice for a nursery shelf, a baby shower, a Mother’s Day morning or a grandmother welcoming her first grandchild. Safari travelers will love it as a souvenir, too. Placed beside a crib, the pair seems to keep watch over the room long after the lights go down.
