Notes : Seated Zulu Maiden (SK124), cast posthumously by Vignali in 1997 by Goodman Gallery, is the same seated girl in the evocative Girl with Bird (SK77), produced by the Egon Guenther Gallery in 1970. Sadly the bird, which had been perched on the girl's hands, is absent from the recast sculpture. The original casting mould or terracotta that included the bird must have been damaged beyond repair.1 1Gavin Watkins and Charles Skinner (2023) The Sculptures of Sydney Kumalo and Ezrom Legae: A Catalogue Raisonné, Johannesburg: Strauss & Co, page 57.
