SAHARA VERT

More about SAHARA VERT

A detailed, vibrant, low-relief sculpture carved into rock, depicting an African village and savanna scene. The central element is a winding river of blue and white, separating two landmasses. On the left bank, an elephant stands near two warthogs, with a person standing by a donkey and a cow. Further down the river, two people are in a canoe, and a man poles another boat while sitting with two others by the riverbank. On the right bank, two giraffes stand next to an enclosure of two huts, with a person herding a wild boar. Below these, two people are cooking, and nearby sits another hut. Lower on the right, two buffalos and a white bovine stand. Above the river, a stylized sun with rays radiates light from the sky, while undulating mountains and clouds form the background. The entire scene is enclosed by the rough, textured surface of the surrounding rock, with the sculpted elements appearing as if pressed into the stone, showcasing rich colors and distinct textures for each element, from the rippling water to the rough elephant hide and the organic forms of the trees and landscape.
