Weighs 258 Grams 80 mm x 60 mm x 60mm From Zimbabwe Wooden carved moon

Weighs 1.904 Kg.Made of Verdite. 180 mm x 70 mm x 120 mm This superb hand carved bust of an African Warrior made of gorgeous Verdite was carved by artists of the Shona tribe, living in the Mutoko Hills near Harare in Zimbabwe. Hand polished to perfection, to reveal the stones’ deep green color, which is prized by collectors. The detail in this Verdite piece is truly astounding, considering the lack of fancy tools in the rural lands of the Shona people in southern Africa. Verdite is a very hard stone, found in eastern Zimbabwe. This stone occurs naturally in the hills surrounding Mutoko. It has a rich color and a feel that is smooth and warm to the touch, with hints of iron and other minerals. Naturally Verdite occurs in the Sandawana emerald mining area thus the color derived from its close proximity to the emeralds. Shona art is world renouned, since the artform reached the west in the early 70’s. Shona folk have been carving such masterpieces for hundreds of years, but went undiscovered for most of this time.

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.
