Description
This listing is for (3) large individual Shona sculptures from Zimbabwe (southcentral Africa). Shona is one of the most exciting modern scupture forms to emerge since the 1960's. The statues are handcarved from black and green serpentine stone. The largest statue "Expectant Mother" measures are approximately 50 inches in height, 19 inches wide, by 9 inches in depth. I would estimate the piece weighs approximately 600 pounds. Aside from its size, the statue is unique in that each side has distinct imagery. The front depicts a woman and stork. And strikingly, the back side depicts the unborn child she is carrying.. The artist engraved his name on the rear of base of the statue - "William Sakarombe". A celebration of life, this is an amazing piece of art and is certainly one-of-a-kind. The second statue depicts a man and woman in an embrace. The measurements are approximately 35 inches in height, 18 inches wide, by 9 3/4 inches in depth. I would estimate the piece weighs approximately 450 pounds. The third statue measures approximately 24 inches in height, 14 inches wide, by 11 inches in depth. I would estimate the piece weighs approximately 375 pounds. It is carved from a beautiful hue of green serpentine. The front of this abstract Picasso-esque sculpture depicts a face and woman's breast. The back side depicts a face. The statues are in excellent condition with just a few minor blemishes. Because of the weight I am offering these pieces local pickup only, though I am certainly willing to work with anyone including international buyers who prefer to send a freight company to pick-up, pack, and ship the item. I would also be willing to deliver the statues within a 2 hour drive from Mercerville, NJ. The (3) statues compliment each other very well, and I am selling them at just a fraction of what the largest statue alone would sell for in a gallery. This is a wonderful opportunity to begin or embellish your Shona, African, or modern art collection. I will accept Paypal, money order, cashier's check or personal check. Of course any personal check will need to clear prior to delivery. Please contact me with any questions! I have over 1500 100% positive feedback which means I offer unique, quality items with excellent service. Thank you! Scott @ the Zanzibar Cat
