This snappy dresser of a lion has four different color stockings to match his coat and striking mane! A wonderful addition to the collection of any bead lover!

The striking folk-art sculptures of MonkeyBiz, a co-operative of women from the Khayelitsha township in South Africa are part of an extraordinary contemporary project celebrating and bringing back to life the ancient and spiritual craft of beading in Africa. 

Monkeybiz is leading the revival of this venerable tradition by bringing to it a fresh, modern aesthetic.
