About this artwork
We love winter aloes because this is when they flower in striking tones of yellow, orange through to red and the nectar from the aloe flowers attract our favourite, the sunbird. This exquisite jug is skillfully covered in delicate aloe leaves with alluring leopards treading within the dense flora.
Made by Qiniso Mungwe and painted by Sbusiso Mbatha
