Rafiki character jug produced in Indonesia for Applause of Woodland Hills, California, in 1995. From the 1994 Disney animated movie, "The Lion King", Rafiki is a male mandrill. He is the Royal Mjuzi of the Pride Lands.
Rafiki presented Simba, the prince heir of Pride Rock, to the animals of the Pride Lands. Later, when Scar assumed the throne, Rafiki grieved the purported deaths of Simba and his father, Mufasa. Seasons afterward, Rafiki realized that Simba had survived and was full-grown, and so he journeyed to the jungle in an effort to bring the young prince home. With some persuasion from Rafiki, as well as the appearance of Mufasa's spirit, Simba returned home and challenged Scar for the throne.
Rafiki assisted Simba in the ensuing battle against Scar and his hyenas, from which the Pride Landers emerged victorious. Rafiki's hair forms the handle of the jug.
