Ostrich eggs adorned and incised with images are an ancient artistic tradition in Africa's Southern and Eastern reaches. The oldest found ostrich eggs are dating back 90 000 - 100 000 years ago. They were decorated and used to carry water. The African tribes adorned and incised them as a form of expressing their cultural identity. The decorated ostrich eggs were seen and handled as high luxury items by ancient African tribes.
This ostrich egg with an elephant together with her baby chiseled on is carefully handmade by our Kenyan artist Stephen Kamau Nganga. This piece of art is 200 mm high and 150 mm wide (7.88 inches high and 5.92 inches wide).
Stephen Kamau Nganga crafts several similar ostrich eggs like this one.
This ostrich egg can also be bought with an additional lampstand, which can be found here (ostrich egg lampstand).
