Mursi Maki #14
CIRCLES OF HERITAGE
Canvas: Green
Leather:
Brown
Dimension: Small 91 x 152 cm 3 x 5''
Every circle tells a story.
Every generation completes it.
Created by artists from the Mursi community, this original wall hanging is inspired by the rhythms, colours and artistic traditions that continue to shape Mursi cultural identity.
Hand-painted on canvas using white, orange and black pigments, the composition is built around a series of circular forms that reflect connection, continuity and the enduring beauty of a living culture. Green canvas and natural leather add depth and texture, creating a harmonious balance between traditional materials and contemporary artistic expression.
Every circle reflects belonging.
Every colour honors a tradition.
Rather than reproducing cultural motifs, this artwork offers a contemporary interpretation inspired by the people of the Mursi community and the stories they continue to carry forward.
Created with respect, it celebrates the beauty, creativity and enduring spirit of a living heritage.
Please note: The orange pigment is traditionally prepared using natural materials. Small colour variations or subtle markings are part of the authentic character of the artwork, making every piece truly unique.

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.
