Description: Product Name Shona Woman Torso specifications 1.4 ft highThese Shona sculptures celebrate the universal beauty of the female form. The rounded curves have been delicately carved by Zimbabwe artist Kenneth Takawira. Like other Zimbabwean sculptors, he draws from the vast reservoir of tribal tradition to form intimate works of art contemporary in design. After quarrying and carefully selecting his own rapoka stone, Takawira carves each torso using only hand tools. The shades of stone vary naturally with each torso, and this sculpture is solid, not hollow. Shona sculpture is considered to be the most important new art form to emerge from Africa in the past century. This style of sculpting originated in Zimbabwe, though other African cultures have attempted to duplicate the creativity of the Shona designs.
