Ballhead
Edward Chiwawa

Green Serpentine

12cm (h)

16cm (d)

5kg

SOLD

A quintessential Chiwawa sculpture. The perfect double-circle eyes and slightly concerned crescent brow are trademark Chiwawa, one of Zimbabwe's few remaining 'first-generation' sculptors.

Edward has signed it on the base.

The material used is a wonderful dark green serpentine, with a texture and hardness much like the ever-popular springstone. It is rarely seen because Edward owns the mine! We shall try to sweet-talk him into making it more widely available...
