This sculpture in Springstone is a very rare example of the work of Mrs Sunny.
Equally rare is that a woman, even of exceptional skill and talent, should feature in this almost exclusively male environment.
Traditionally, a Shona woman would not be expected to participate in most activities where men are active.
Additionally, Stone Sculpture in Zimbabwe is dominated by the work of male sculptors.
The example above is beautifully simple in form, and this is enhanced by the clever use of a matt finish. The result is elegant and refined.
