Africa's Nguni cow
Babylonstoren, Cape Winelands South Africa |
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.
