"Continuum" Abstract Sculpture Country of Origin Hand carved in Zimbabwe Dimensions (in inches) Depth: 14" Width: 14" Height: 37" The dimensions include the round iron base, as shown in the photos. Material: Springtone Springstone comes from the Guruve mine in northern Zimbabwe. It is one of the hardest stones found in the country and has an elevated density allowing it to be polished to a bright shine. Springstone contains high deposits of iron which can sometimes be seen in a reddish-brown outer layer on the stone. The iron also makes it an incredibly hard stone to carve by hand. One of the most famous 1st generation carvers, John Takawira, was said to have coined the name 'springstone' when he tried to carve the stone and it was so dense and strong that the chisel sprung off the stone, hence the name 'springstone'. Display The round iron base shown in the photos is included with the piece. "Continuum" is suitable for both indoor and outdoor display, as the stone is weather-resistant. Shona sculptures make a stunning addition to any garden design!
