1.696 kg African Woman Verdite Statue 220mm x 70mm x 45 mm The Shona people have been thriving in Southeastern Africa for more than 1,000 years, and have been sculpting for almost that long. They are mostly self-taught artists who carve their works from brilliant white granites and rich serpentines in reds, greens, maroons, greys, yellows and orange. The most common carving material is serpentine, but verdite, also known as Africa's "Green Gold" is particularly prized by some artists for its rich, deep emerald color, swirling striations and hardness rivaling that of rubies.
