AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful head carved in green natural stone, made in a style strongly inspired by Zimbabwean Shona sculpture.
The sculpture features a stylized face with restrained features, with visible carving work in the details of the face and the hairstyle. The stone has numerous natural variations of green, blue-green and brown, giving the piece a very graphic appearance.
The stone is dense and slightly sensitive to light: the light from a phone penetrates slightly into certain areas without fully traversing the sculpture.
The piece is unsigned and no provenance is known. For this reason, it is offered as a green stone sculpture in the Shona style, without attribution to a particular artist.
Specifications:
* Material: green natural stone, probably serpentine
* Style: African sculpture / Shona-inspired
* Origin: undetermined
* Artist: unsigned
* Height: 9 cm
* Width: 6 cm
* Depth: 9 cm
* Weight: 512 g
* Condition: good overall condition, with natural marks and variations of the stone and the sculpture
An interesting small decorative sculpture for a collection of African sculptures, natural stone, or Shona art.
Note: identifying the stone as serpentine is an assessment based on appearance and has not been subjected to mineralogical analysis. Zimbabwean origin is not guaranteed.
