Famous Zimbabwean sculptor Edward Chiwawa of the Shona sculpture art movement

Edward Chiwawa

Sculptor

This distinctive sculpture is a fantastic example of Edward Chiwawa‘s work. It has the double-ringed circular eyes and crescent brow that are the trademarks of his best-known sculptures.

It is being advertised for sale by Guruve on behalf of a private collector.

This piece was originally bought directly from Edward in late 1989 or early 1990 by the respected Matombo Gallery of Harare, Zimbabwe. Matombo exported it to the UK for exhibition and sale at the London Art Fair in March 1990.

In 1993, it was purchased by a private collector. It has remained in this private collection ever since, until being offered for sale via Guruve.

The sculpture is in excellent condition, having been much loved for many years. Minor scuffs have been professionally restored by us (pre-restoration pictures are available on request). Matombo paperwork accompanies the piece. You can also see the original Matombo identifying sticker with number EC207 on the back of the sculpture.

Imperial measurements are:
21 7/10″ x 13″ x 6 7/10″ and weight 93.7lbs
