Head
Tanyanyiwa Nyandoro

Fruit Serpentine

38cm (h)
25cm (w)
17cm (d)

16kg

SOLD

An abstract head by one of our best young abstract sculptors.

Tanyanyiwa won the Bernard Matemera Foundation 'Artist Of The Year' prize in 2009. His piece was judged to be the most original, and that Tanya was uninfluenced by others around him, which is very hard to achieve.

Fruit serpentine is the local Zimbabwean name for a very colourful, slightly translucent type of serpentine stone. It comes from Kwekwe and is of a similar hardness to the black serpentine known as springstone.
