Baboon

Discover Monkeybiz's collection of Handmade African Beaded Baboons, individually handcrafted by talented women artisans in Cape Town, South Africa. Every piece celebrates over 25 years of traditional South African beadwork, transformed into contemporary African art for modern homes, lodges, hotels and collectors around the world.

The Art of Beaded Baboon Sculptures

Baboons are one of the most recognisable animals in Southern Africa, often seen across the Western Cape and beyond. This collection celebrates their bold personality and expressive nature through handmade baboon art, carefully crafted using traditional beadwork techniques.

Each beaded baboon sculpture is created by hand, with attention to posture, facial detail, and colour. No two pieces are ever the same, making each artwork a true original.
