Posing Leaf
Onias Mupumha

Cobalt Stone

33cm (h)
43cm (w)
10cm (d)

7kg

SOLD

The only small piece from Onias this year (sorry!), but at least it is a simple and classic example of his work.

Cobalt stone is the local Zimbabwean name given to this purple and green type of serpentine. It does not, as far as we know, contain any cobalt but it may originally have been found near a cobalt mine. Nowadays, it is mined near Chiweshe, in northern Zimbabwe.
