Maasai Children Collection (Cold-Cast Bronze)
The Maasai are a pastoral
people, proud keepers of cattle, that live in the Great Rift Valley of East
Africa.
The bond they have with their animals has necessitated a semi-nomadic way of
life for them as they follow the seasons in search of grass and water for
their herds.
The two most important things that the Maasai constantly pray for are
children and cattle.
A Maasai may have as many as a thousand cattle in his herd.
Without children, however, he is not considered truly wealthy.
 Chajio SJ23263 Height: 12cm "SUPPER`S OVER" All day long I have played with my friends as we pretend to be great warriors using our mighty morani spears. Now that I have eaten, I want to play our game again. |
 Mapal SJ23261 Height: 15cm "BEST FRIENDS" I love to care for my best friend. He is young like me, but soon I will be able to look after our family`s older animals and learn from my brothers the ways of a good Maasai shepherd." |
 Tayari SJ23262 Height: 27cm "FINISHING TOUCHES" For many months the young `entitos` have threaded brightly coloured beads to create their wonderful necklaces. Now, excitedly, they add the finishing touches to their beauty before dancing the `olamal` to attract the blessings of their tribal leaders. |
 Ona Kiu SJ23251 Height: 16cm "GROWING STRONG" My days are spent playing with stones and running with my friends. The fresh milk from our cattle will make me grow strong enough take care of the animals by myself. |
 Jana Mtani SJ23250 Height: 15cm "YOUNG FRIENDS" The bond of true friendship is forged at a very early age, but will remain resolute as each period of Maasai life is passed. |
 Jinake Tume SJ23249 Height: 15cm "PROUD HELPER" My task is to bring refreshing water to my older brothers, who tend our cattle. I must get these calabashes to them, for they will be thirsty in the hot African sun. |
Tefu Dakika SJ23248 Height: 15cm "TENDER MOMENT" I love to be with my family`s goats, they are so gentle. Soon I`ll be old enough to learn how to take care of them and they will love me too. |
 Chezo Mata SJ23234 Height: 14cm "THE GAME I PLAY" With my bow nearly as tall as I am, my favourite game is to be a brave Maasai warrior. As I grow older my arrows will fly further and my aim will never miss. |
