Stylized female figure, signed at back of base, carved of locally sourced Serpentine. Precious Mashaya is one of a number of contemporary Zimbabwean sculptors delivering the art of Shona Sculpture to the global stage. Deriving its name from Shona people, an ethnic group native to Southern Africa, the sculptural movement has been gaining international recognition since the mid-20th century. Utilizing stone derived from the Serpentine family, found in abundance in the Great Dyke Mountain Pass of Zimbabwe, Shona sculptors hold their medium in high esteem and have described the importance of allowing the material to reveal the beauty within. Popular subjects in Shona sculpture include totemic figures, local fauna and flora, and traditional Shona mythology. Size: 15 x 6 x 31 in. Please note that all sales are final. No refunds will be given under any circumstances.
