🦓African Shona Metal Animal Sculptures
While Shona sculpture is traditionally associated with stone carving, a growing number of Zimbabwean artists have begun working in metal, applying the same expressive spirit and cultural symbolism to a new medium.
🔧 Craft & Inspiration
- Materials: Artists repurpose scrap metal, wire, and sheet steel— sourced sustainably—to create dynamic animal forms.
- Technique: Sculptures are shaped by hand, welded, and sometimes polished or painted. The process is labor-intensive and requires both technical skill and artistic vision.
- Themes: The circle of life is a common theme.
