NGONI is a tribe in southern Africa that spans across South Africa, Swaziland, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi the reason for the wide spread of the NGONI tribe was as a result of the Zulu wars. This NGONI dining table draws its inspiration from the vessel used by the NGONI people. The surface of the vessel and cover has been filled with deeply incised lines of rounded and soft marks that run in close parallel line, following the overall shape of the vessel. This dramatic decorative surface program is distinctive characteristic of the works in the school of NGONI sculpture.
