Here, a couple are dancing together. The lady is in front and the man is behind.

Tonderai is a new artist for us this year. It is almost inconceivable that such delicate and intricate work could be done by hand.

Unsurprisingly, Tonderai was delighted to have been spotted by us, and revelled in being encouraged to create new and original works for us. He said he had been thinking about these pieces for a long time, but had never found anyone who wanted to buy them. Why??

Unfortunately, this piece has a tiny flaw at the top (which Tonderai has worked hard to remove) and we therefore recommend this piece is only suitable for indoor display, where the little line will be no problem (and only visible to the trained eye).
