Bridegroom
Edward Chiwawa

Springstone

£ 8,225

"He wears flowers round his neck, waiting for the bride. When the bride arrives, he takes off the flowers and puts them over her neck."

This sculpture is a museum-quality example of Edward's work, in the hardest type of springstone. A larger piece like this stands proud at one of the entrances to the Chapungu Sculpture centre in Harare and is part of the private collection. This piece is a (slightly!) more practical size and is a true collector's gem. Character, strength, power, charm - it's got it all. Wonderful.
