Hand Carved in Zimbabwe-Ukama Family Of 4

Description: Also known as "Ukama" or "Loving Family", this Shona piece is one of the most popular emerging African art forms.The figures show four family members, all merging together at various points, symbolizing the bonds of love and shared spirit of the family unit.Ukama" is the Shona word for 'close family relationship'. Central to Shona culture is the support and success of the family. Success is not measured by material wealth, but by the accomplishment of creating a loving and supportive family environment full of health and happiness. This family sculpture portrays the bond of support between parents and their children. The arms are united to shield them from outside adversity while at the same time enabling them to express their love and closeness to each other. This African art form is known as Shona sculpture because it is hand carved by the Shona people of Zimbabwe. The Shona people have been hand sculpting stone into works of art for nearly a thousand years. Even though the craft is ancient, the style has continually evolved and the carvings created today are both beautiful and elegant.The contemporary, yet eternal, shape of these sculptures bring splendor to the home and compliments any decor. The themes these sculptures portray representesteemed values in the Shona culture of family,love, life and nature. The piece is imperfect as shown. There are some scratches as shown in photos (our mover wasn't very gentle) AS IS. Please examine all photos thoroughly. It is a weighty piecealmost 5 pounds. Approximately 13"H x 3" W x 8"
