"Round Woman" by D. Chdzamwe - SOLD
Price: $0.00
"House of Stone" is the literal translation
for Zimbabwe, home to some of the
world's most praised stone sculptors,
the Shona. The inspiration for these
majestic stone sculptures often comes
from tribal myth and legend, & spiritual
communion with the stone itself. This
extraordinary art form has emerged
within the last 50 years. Shona sculpture
has earned such an outstanding
reputation that some of the artists are
now recognized as the world's best.
They also represent a modern link with
an ancient past. Creative & artistic
genius has found expression in these
stone carvings from Zimbabwe. Each
carver is guided by the resources of
his own imagination, using only basic
hand tools & no formal art training.
The stone sculptures are carved from
a variety of local rocks such as
serpentine, springstone, African jade
and a host of other stones.
This whimsical sculpture measures 11.5" tall, 8.5" wide, and 2.5" deep.
