Verdite Stone Sculpture Maiden Bust Shona Zimbabwe Signed Darios Chikumbirike

Description

Beautiful Verdite bust of maiden signed Darios Chikumbirike. The Shona sculptors are world renowned for their carving skills. The artist, Darios Chikumbbirike, is a member of the famous Chikumbirike multi-generational sculpting family. I encourage a prospective buyer to do some basic research on the subject of Shona sculptors and this artist whose works routinely sell for 4 and even 5 figures. The work is impeccably sculpted to bring forth a lifelike presence.
In gorgeous green shades of Verdite, a rare stone found only along the border of Zimbabwe with South Africa in deposits quickly being depleted, a young maiden emerges full of vibrant life. Verdite is among the oldest minerals found on the Earth's surface at 3.5 billion years of age. Only the most experienced and skilled sculptors are trusted with it for a piece of this dimension.
The sculpture weighs 13 pounds and measures 12x6x6 inches. It will be shipped double-boxed for added protection ensuring safe delivery
