Mursi Maki #13
VIBRANT HERITAGE
Leather: Brown
Dimension: Medium 152 x 213 cm 5 x 7"
Colour carries identity.
Tradition gives it a voice.
Created by four artists from the Mursi community, this original wall hanging celebrates the richness of a living culture through colour, texture and artistic expression.
Hand-painted on canvas using white, orange and black pigments, and complemented by green canvas and natural leather, the composition draws inspiration from the patterns, adornments and visual traditions that continue to shape Mursi cultural identity.
Every layer reflects creativity.
Every colour honors a story.
Rather than recreating traditional designs, this artwork offers a contemporary interpretation inspired by the people, their heritage and the enduring beauty of their living culture.
Created with respect, it is a tribute to the Mursi community and the generations who continue to carry their traditions forward.
Please note: Some pigments are traditionally prepared using natural materials. Slight colour variations and markings are part of the authentic character of the artwork.

About the Mursi Community
The Mursi people have lived in Ethiopia's Omo Valley for generations, preserving a cultural identity that is deeply rooted in community, tradition and resilience.
Their distinctive adornments, body painting and ceremonial traditions are expressions of identity, belonging and cultural pride. Using natural pigments and handcrafted jewellery, they continue artistic practices that have been passed from one generation to the next, celebrating important moments in life and strengthening the bonds within their community.
Like many Indigenous communities around the world, the Mursi balance the preservation of their heritage with the realities of a rapidly changing world. Their traditions continue to evolve, while remaining deeply connected to their history and identity.
The Mursi Collection was inspired by the people we met, the stories they shared and the remarkable beauty of a living culture that continues to inspire through its strength, creativity and enduring spirit.
Every tradition carries a story.
Every story deserves to be honored.
