Dancing Family Shona Stone Statue


Today I saw a piece of art ...a very unique creativity and just loved it thought..I must share this over here....Depicting a dancing family of three figures, this scuplture represents the joy of family unity. Handmade by the Shona tribespeople of Zimbabwe.
The Shona tribes are considered by many to be among the world's finest sculptors. Inspired by spiritual beliefs, folklore and daily life, Shonas rarely carve with a pre-conceived idea, but let the stone dictate its own final, unique form.
