A figure with a lasso, trying to catch a horse.

This is a lovely small sculpture by one of the most exciting young artists working in Zimbabwe today.

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.
