Keyring - Impondo Zulu Collection - Diana Carmichael
Regular price $43.00 USD Save $-43.00 USDInspired by the African Antelope, this sophisticated and functional range of tableware features a highly polished resin horn as the handle. The ebony horn contrasts beautifully with the delicate metallic gleam of pewter detailing and stainless steel inserts.
The whole range was originally made with genuine horns. With the scarcity of supply of certain sizes of Springbok horns however, most of the range is now manufactured with a resin cast that renders the same effect as original horns.
Only four items are still manufactured with genuine horns. All pieces have been treated with a solution in accordance with standard veterinary practice.
The Impondo Zulu range ensures that the beauty of this emblematic animal lives on and spreads the spirit of Africa for decades to come.

Native to Africa, the Ostrich has inspired cultures and civilizations for over 5000 years. In Ancient Egypt, the Ostrich had great spiritual and religious significance. Ostrich feathers were associated with the deity of truth and justice, the lightness of the feather being a symbol of truth. Ostrich eggs are also often used as decorations in Islamic mosques and represent faith and patience. The Kung bushmen of Africa revered the Ostrich, and imbued it with supernatural powers when they performed ritual dances. Indigenous people of the Kalahari still use Ostrich eggs as water jugs.
“No degree of craftsmanship is able to pay true homage to the delicacy of form and textures in nature, all we can do is to attempt to extract an essence, a pattern, a shape or a line that, perhaps, has some of the qualities of the original. In the Ostrich I have found all of these in abundance. I have been inspired to gather some of the elements that, to me, is ‘Ostrich’, into a variety of patterns, shapes, forms and textures, to create a functional, three-dimensional , graphic synergy in metal”.
