Collecting Shona Sculpture: A Unique Way to Remember Your Trip

While there are many ways to remember your trip to Zimbabwe, collecting Shona sculptures is a truly unique and special way to do so. Shona sculpture is a form of art that originated in Zimbabwe and is known for its intricate designs and use of local stone, such as serpentine and soapstone. These sculptures often depict animals or people and are a reflection of Zimbabwe's rich cultural heritage.

Enhance Your Collection with Animal Sculptures

If you are interested in collecting Shona sculptures, Cyril Mangenda

is an artist whose work is worth considering. To enhance our collection of Zimbabwean art, we ordered four sculptures from Cyril through Thandanani, a trusted middle man for art sales from Victoria Falls - Mosi-oa-Tunya - the place to absolutely visit. We chose to have a Wild Dog, a Hyena, a Baboon, and a Cheetah produced in green serpentine, which are some of the most commonly seen animals in Zimbabwe. The work was excellent and the service given to us by Thandanani was outstanding.
