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.
