African Gifts

In honor of Gary Player's South African heritage, this section offers unique African gifts, from decorative and fair trade items imported from different parts of this beautiful continent, to silver hand-sculpted jewelry by renowned Zimbabwe sculptor and artist Patrick Mavros. Mr. Mavros, a native Zimbabwean, is world renowned for hand-sculpting truly unique African themed jewelry, sculptures and home décor items. He custom designed the trophy for the Gary Player Invitational tournament in South Africa.

The trophy is in the shape of the baobab tree (shown above), an African icon that symbolizes enduring strength, very much to the image of the Black Knight. Mavros' work is derived from a lifetime love of Africa - especially the stunning and diverse wildlife found in the Southern regions of the continent. Each piece is designed by hand and has its own unique story, adding considerably to its charm and ultimately its value.
