This
unique sculpture is hand carved from a single piece ofgreen serpentine
stone by a master Shona artist.
This
life-like sculpture captures the stately expression of an African woman.
Her features are exquisitely and intricately carved.
The
highly polished stone is beautifully colored in shades of green with
black mottling. The smoothness of her face contrasts well with the roughness
of her neck piece exposing her small breasts and covering her back,
adding depth and texture to this lovely sculpture.
This
piece is from Zimbabwe.
