V. Rangisse Shona Stone Sculpture — Abstract Face, Signed, 5"
This hand-carved stone sculpture by V. Rangisse is a fine example of Shona artistry from Zimbabwe, showcasing the traditional use of locally sourced serpentine stone. The abstract facial features—arched brows, closed eyes, and simplified lips—reflect a modernist aesthetic while remaining rooted in cultural symbolism.
Signed on the underside, the piece is skillfully sculpted and polished to a smooth, dark green-black finish with subtle marbling. Its compact form and elegant curves make it ideal for shelf or desk display, and its emotive minimalism gives it timeless appeal.
A collectible and conversation-worthy object that blends African tradition with contemporary form.
