Celebration
Boet Nyariri

Springstone

200cm (h)
47cm (w)
40cm (d)

SOLD

This astounding sculpture is one of the highlights of this year's collection. From every angle, it combines elegant lines with superb and original detailing and is just stunning.

Boet rarely makes sculptures on this scale, and this is a masterpiece with a commanding presence. It would make a wonderful focal point in a garden.

In 2010, Boet has achieved national recognition by winning the sculpture category of the prestigious National Arts Merit Awards NAMA competition.

Springstone is the local name for a hard variant of serpentine stone. It is a particularly good sculpture medium, as it has a very even internal structure of small grains of rock; it is dense and has very few flaws. It is the favoured medium for Zimbabwe's most famous sculptors.

Springstone is frost-resistant and is suitable for outdoor display.
