ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Two figures, one piece of stone. This sculpture captures a couple in a tender embrace, hand-carved from a single piece of serpentine stone. The stone is shaped by hand, then chiseled, sanded, polished with beeswax, and finished over fire to bring out its natural color and depth.

This sculpture is hand-carved by Shona artisans in Zimbabwe from serpentine stone, using techniques passed down through generations. Each maker selects and quarries their own stone, then chisels, sands, and polishes it with beeswax before warming it over fire to draw out the stone's natural color and depth.

The Shona - whose name means "house of stone" - are renowned worldwide for this sculptural tradition. Because every piece is shaped by hand, no two are exactly alike.
