Beautiful signed Casper Darare South African (Zimbabwe) bronze/mixed metal sculpture, measuring approximately 7½ inches in height.

Casper Darare (1951 - 2001) was a South African of Shona tribe (Zimbabwe) descent. At an early age he developed a keen interest in stone carved art and was nine years old when he began working as a washer and polisher for a local carver. On leaving school Casper worked and studied under the renowned mute Shona sculptor, Shadu Chatsamer, and quickly established himself as one of Southern Africa’s best known representational sculptors. His strength lay in his amazing ability to create human figures with great expression, sensitivity, and mood. Casper created beautifully  finished carvings that reflected the pride of Africa in traditional form.
