An outstanding sculpture, Thanksgiving tells us about the Shona celebration of the harvest.
“When the crops are brought in, everyone gathers to rejoice. The elders pour beer on the ground [libation] to thank the ancestors for watching over the people and their crops.”
Edward was a great-grandfather when he created this sculpture. Like all of his senior generation, he was a reservoir of cultural knowledge and experience. Of course, this informed much of his sculpting. Thanksgiving is an impressive work which speaks of traditions maintained in rural communities to this day.
Edward has signed Thanksgiving on the base.
The stone is a relatively hard type of serpentine, but we would recommend covering it during a hard frost if you display it outdoors.
