The majestic Nguni cow of Southern Africa are as hardy as they are handsome.

Beloved herds of the Xhosa, Zulu and Swazi people for hundreds of years; these richly patterned cattle are a form of dowry as well as a source of food and clothing.

They have also inspired songwriters, poets, artists and even tribal kings -  King Shaka of the Zulus had a royal herd of pure white Ngunis.

South Africa’s arts and crafts continues to honour their importance, where today you can find various representations of these beautiful creatures.
