This Zimbabwean craftsmanship is typical for certain regions of Zimbabwe, we buy these stone family statues from the maker himself, so without an intermediary party. Otherwise also read our blog, in which we explain how a soapstone statue of a family is made.
 

The statue you buy is made of real natural stone in Zimbabwe by artists and performers who put their creativity in the stone statue of a family, family or friends. The shapes of the stone statue of a family or relatives are different for each stone statue. These shapes are different because each stone from nature with which the sculpture process begins has a different shape, therefore each family statue stone will have a different shape. In addition, each family statue stone will show its own colours, because each stone is different, all stone statues will have a different deep colour. Admire these unique properties of each stone statue and find your most beautiful one. Maybe the statue has a special meaning for you that comes to the fore because of the characteristic properties of the stone and the statue.
 

The sculptures are made of natural stone with the greatest possible care. The smaller sculptures are made of a soapstone, this stone is not suitable for outdoor use. The larger sculptures are mostly made of opalstone, springstone, cobaltstone or fruit serpentine. This is a harder stone and suitable to stand outside.


In the stone irregularities can occur such as veins and lines. These irregularities give the sculpture extra charm and a unique character. For example, this sculpture is red at the top, so the heads are also red, which gives a beautiful effect. Because this makes the stone statue unique.



The stone is worked in various stages with a hammer and chisel, grater and file. Once the coarse shape has been created, the stone is polished with waterproof sandpaper until it is completely smooth. After polishing, the sculpture is heated and a wax layer is applied. When the sculpture has cooled down again it is polished and gets its full colour and shine. The sculpture is ready.
