This is a hand-carved wooden cheetah that is made from native non-endangered jacaranda wood by Ngoni Shamuyaria. All of his works are one-of-a-kind. It stands 24 1/2" tall and about 6" wide at the base. This is a chance to own contemporary art from Southern Africa by Mbare Ltd.

The pictures do not do this piece justice. The details are done very nicely and unfortunately do not show well in the pictures.
