Iron wood faces Zimbabwe sculpture
On my way to Mutare, I came across two Zimbabwean Sculptors who
were showing their wares on the side of the road. I stopped as
was my habit and found 7 extremely unusual sculptors of faces
on iron wood.
The wood it seemed had been used partly to make a
fire as it was slightly charcoaled. I picked up a piece
and was tremendously suprised by the weight
of the wood. It looks much lighter than it is.
We had to exhibit these wonderful pieces in Mapiti.
Artists unknown! Thei pieces stand about 50 to 70cm.
