Ongata Line Sacco
Last Kings
$50.00
Last Kings — an Ongata Line Sacco matatu that declared its dominance with regal swagger. The name suggests a dynasty, the final word in matatu style, a vehicle that answered to no one. Dennis Muraguri's 2020 woodcut captures the crown motifs and bold lettering that communicated this message of supremacy on the daily commute between Nairobi and Ongata Rongai. The 'Last Kings' theme taps into matatu culture's love of royal imagery — crowns, thrones, and monarchical symbolism appear frequently in livery designs, worn with a mix of irony and genuine pride. Muraguri's approach treats the design with the gravity it demands, carving every detail of the crown and typography with precision. This print is available in A3 landscape, with two composition variants from the original multi-panel artwork. It makes a commanding statement in any room and pairs well with other Ongata Line Sacco prints in a curated collection.
