Artist Inspiration: The Venda Collection designed to represent the Venda people of South Africa. Venda people also a Bantu group native to Southern Africa living mostly near the Zimbabwean border. Their history starts from the Kingdom of Mapungubwe, with their first King Shiriyadenga and the first Venda settlement, that of legendary chief Thoho-ya-Ndou (Head of the Elephant) in the Soutpansberg. The remains of his royal kraal, D’zata, also declared a National Monument. See our Venda Collection Here.
