The fluid, organic lines of this beautiful sculpture are typical of Onias' award-winning work.

As a special request, Onias created a widely-branching shape with a substantial and solid base. This piece has a wonderful balance and roundedness that contrasts with some of his more willowy tall pieces.

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.
