Shona Sculpture





The Shona people are known for their sculptures. I've had several opportunities to see this on this trip.
First, in the Atlanta airport there was an exhibit of Zimbabwean sculptures which was really cool. I took some pictures.

Then, when I got here, it turns out I'm living in a former sculpture gallery. The sculpture selling business still operates out back and there are sculptures all over the house and grounds, including some artistically innovative ones, apparently.

And there's a outdoor sculpture market not too far away that I've gotten some things from. They even did a sculpture of a crow for me that I'll have to take a picture of and post for you sometime.
