Beaded strelitzia
Beaded strelitzia
Iconic and so significantly South African, it's been renamed after Nelson Mandela as 'Nelson's gold'; the stunning strelitzia flower is captured elegantly and colourfully in this beaded rendition. On a green-beaded stem, the classic orange and blue stiff petals soar from the green base. A collection of these will add a funky and original touch to any coffee table.
