Shona Sculptures

Embark on a journey through the artistry of unique stones, each sculpted masterpiece a testament to the diverse treasures found in the heart of Africa. ‘Butter Jade,’ also known as African Jade, whispers tales of ancient times from the greenstone belt in Southern Africa, where this creamy-hued stone has silently witnessed over 50 million years of history. 

From the sculptor’s hands emerges ‘Springstone,’ an exceptionally hard, dark serpentinite stone sourced exclusively from the rich quarries of Zimbabwe. This robust material, synonymous with Shona sculpture, lends each creation an enduring strength and an artistic vitality that speaks to the soul. 

Dive into the allure of ‘Wonderstone,’ a stone of mystery found in South Africa, the United States, Utah, Nevada, Brazil, and Madagascar. With its captivating variations, Wonderstone reveals an array of earthy hues, each unique piece echoing the geological marvels of its country of origin. 

These stones, with their rich histories and distinct qualities, serve as the elemental canvas for the sculptor’s vision. Together, they give life to extraordinary art that not only captures the essence of Africa’s geological diversity but also reflects the enduring spirit of the continent’s artistic legacy.
