Shona Serpentine “Thinker” Sculpture — 10” Abstract Stone Figure
This Shona stone sculpture from Zimbabwe presents a stylized abstract figure in a contemplative seated pose, often referred to as a “Thinker.” Hand-carved from serpentine, the piece showcases a striking interplay of textures—smooth, dark greenish-brown polished surfaces contrasted with rough, unworked stone at the base. The minimalist form and expressive posture are hallmarks of mid-to-late 20th century Shona artistry, emphasizing emotion and simplicity over fine detail.
At 10 inches tall and weighing approximately 3 lbs, it makes a bold yet compact statement—ideal for a bookshelf, desktop, or art niche. A beautiful representation of Zimbabwean cultural expression and a collectible work of modern African sculpture.
