Shona sculptures impress, stimulate, and inspire. A beautiful abstract art piece entitled ’Kissing or NECKING GIRAFFES’ carved by Richard Banda, Mbare, Zimbabwe. The Shona artist skillfully captures and enshrines an abstract rendition of nuzzling giraffes viewable from both sides. The sculpture makes a great home décor accent and and unique gift that will be appreciated by all recipients, young and old.
Admired by Picasso and many other artists and sculptors, many critics view Shona sculptors to be the world’s current era of greatest rock artists and sculptors. Hand carved from a solid piece of raw soapstone (steatite) known locally as rapoko, no two sculptures, however similar, even by the same artist, are the same. The magnificent examples of the Shona talent often sell for more than $250 for the 12" (300mm) tall pieces in USA, EU, and Asian art galleries. We are able to offer them at moderate prices by contracting directly with the sculptors at fair trade prices.
A professional geologist can notarize a certificate of authenticity and origin with appraised retail market value for each sculpture. CoA available for a small additional fee and highly recommended for insurance and collection purposes. Type 'yes' or 'y' in box next to CoA $20.00 if you want certification.
