The male leaf protects the female bud.

Quintessential Onias Mupumha and a great size to make a statement in an intimate interior space.

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.
