This isn’t just a sculpture; it is a story of survival that began in the darkest of circumstances. Wyntir and Blizzy represent the miracle of a second chance.
Wyntir was found as a two-month-old calf, defenseless and alone after losing her mother to poachers. She even survived a brutal hyena attack before being rescued by Care for Wild, the world’s largest orphaned rhino sanctuary. Today, she isn’t just a survivor—she is a mother. The birth of her calf, Blizzy, is a triumphant “life and light” moment for African conservation.
Why This Set Speaks to the Heart:
-
A Two-Piece Legacy: This set features a magnificent 52cm mother (Wyntir) and her 20cm calf (Blizzy). Displayed together, they capture the tender, protective bond that poachers almost took away.
-
The Weight of Hope: With a combined weight of over 10kg, these bronze pieces feel substantial and permanent. They serve as a tribute to the tireless work of Petronel Nieuwoudt and her team in the heart of South Africa.
-
A Living Symbol: “Wyntir” was named for the hardships she endured, but “Blizzy” represents the future. To own this set is to keep a piece of that resilience in your home—a reminder that beauty can rise from tragedy.
-
Handcrafted Detail: Every fold of skin and the protective stance of the mother is rendered in fine bronze, ensuring that this story of survival will be told for generations.
