Zimbabwe Graphite Sculpture $14.95

Zimbabwe means "great stone house". It is fitting that stone sculpture is the art that most represents the people of Zimbabwe. It is also referred to as 'Shona Sculpture'. Kelly Barker, inspired by these amazing and poignant stone sculptures has created a graphite sculpture symbolic of Shona Sculpture. Zimbabwean stone sculpture, despite the political and social upheavals across the country, remains a truly contemporary force, combining successfully with an ancient cultural heritage. The art is direct, powerfully human and is often extremely beautiful. This wonderful graphite sculpture is a work of art as well as a playful writing instrument. Made from composites and pure graphite this sculpture can be used to write or draw on multiple mediums or collected and displayed as an art piece. Designed from a Megalodon Shark tooth this sculpture is sure to please. Measures 4.5" by 2"
