The warrior holding a shield and a Maasai lady with a guard, is intricately designed and carefully constructed. Available in a range of sizes, some even life-size, these artworks showcase the strength and grace of the Maasai culture.

The sculptural process involves using a Plaster of Paris bandage shell mold for the body, providing a sturdy foundation that is then meticulously beaded, resulting in this captivating creation. Employing recycled scrap metal, the shield carried by the male Maasai warrior is ingeniously crafted from a rear bicycle cassette, while the Maasai lady carries a traditional guard on her head which is creatively painted patterns, affixed with a bicycle chain for stability. The intricately designed necklaces are repurposed from bicycle disk brakes and chain wheels and carefully painted to harmonize with the body.

For stability and form, the standing legs and hands are expertly fashioned from recycled scrap builders' stands. The expressive faces, a testament to the artisan's skill and creativity, are carefully molded using plaster of Paris and coated with bronze, adding a captivating finish to these beautiful sculptures.
