This is a quite beautiful hand carved piece of Shona art from Zimbabwe of a pair of Hornbills. Traditionally one if three sift stones are used in these sculptures and I believe this to be serpentine, although I’m no expert. It stands at roughly 22cm in height and weighs about 740 grams. The sculpture is complete but has a few nicks here and there, most prominently on the beak of the lower hornbill. A special piece of sub Saharan art.
