Mupemhi ("Blessed Nomad")
Kennedy Phiri

Springstone

Approx. height 2' 6"

SOLD

A mupemhi is a person who wanders from place to place, he has no permanent home. He can't grow his own food, so he asks his neighbours wherever he is. He has to keep moving on as people can't support him indefinitely.

Shona culture indulges a wanderer and people are charitable towards them.
