雕非洲人物玉石摆件

Vintage sculpture of The Elder while in Zimbabwe. It is an example of the intricate and beautiful work of the Shona artists and the details captured in stone.

Serpentine stone is a variety of soapstone found and worked in Zimbabwe by many amazing artists many of whom are self-taught.

Some artists have said it is the spiritual blessing of the ancestors that lead them to the stone and to the final sculpture form. This final form doesn’t come easily, as the artist often travels far distances to obtain just the right stone that calls to him. The artist then has to dig the stone up and transport it. However, that’s never a problem because there is always a community of sculptors who assist each other.

Although some of the Shona art is abstract, this sculpture is an example of traditional Zimbabwean sculpture showing intricate details of the face, body, pot and garments of The Elder.

This sculpture is mid-20th century, in beautiful condition. Imperfections in the stone are shown in the photo, but are there really imperfections in natural stone.

Approximate Dimensions and Weight: 14″ H X 4″ W X 5″ L – Weight: 9.2 lbs.

African stone hand carved female bust
Size: 18cm (H)

A beautiful handcrafted stone bust that is 18 cm tall and carved out of hard stone. The stone carving is so well done that once you see this artists work in person you will just want to have more of this art. The stone carving is of an old African Zulu tribes lady set in white hair and a dark green/black stone color.

The stone female bust has been carved by Shona carvers who are widely regarded as some of the best carvers in the world. The woman bust is smooth polished with realistic African features

This African bust is a heavy bust and well carved. Each African handcrafted bust is an “original” work of art, individually hand carved, no two are exactly alike which adds to the value of each piece. The original nature of tribal art will be reflected by variances from the bust as shown, each piece of a specific style is similar, but not identical.
