Shona Brown Serpentine "Defiant African Woman" Sculpture

This unique sculpture is hand carved from a single piece ofgreen serpentine stone by a master Shona artist.

This life-like sculpture entitled "Wise Old Man" captures the wisdom and experience of an African man. His features are exquisitely and intricately carved.

The highly polished stone is beautifully colored in shades of green with black, white and brown mottling. The smoothness of his face contrasts well with the roughness of his hair and beard, adding depth and texture to this interesting sculpture.

This piece is from Zimbabwe.
