Zulu Isicholo seats a Zulu married woman in full traditional married-woman’s dress against a deep crimson background, the large flat circular isicholo hat at its natural proportions atop her head, hands folded composedly in her lap, posture composed and entirely self-possessed. Around the outer brim of the isicholo, a ring of small blue flames burns, still and cool and untroubling, as if the hat itself is a ritual fire circle worn on the head, the marriage marked not by a ring but by a crown of contained fire. This distinguished mixed media African painting is Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag and limited to a worldwide edition of just 20 prints. A culturally rich piece of fine art that brings the depth of Zulu tradition into any serious art gallery or private collection. Available at Naija Art Store.
