'SHONA' ART ORIGINATES FROM ZIMBABWE.

THIS IS IN THE STYLE OF FANIZANI AKUDA (1932 - 2011) I HAVE NO PROVINENCE TO ESTABLISH THAT THIS WAS ATTRIBUTED TO HIM. (PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS SHOWING A SIMILAR SCULPTURE BY AKUDA (CALLED 'RESPECT') AND DESCRIPTION. 

THIS SCULPTURE HAS SWEEPING MINIMALIST GEOMETRY, STYILISED HUMAN FACE WITH ELONGATED EYES AND A HAND RESTING PENSIVELY UNDER THE CHIN.

THERE IS A MARK SCRATCHED INTO THE SURFACE ON THE BACK WHICH COULD BE THE SIGNATURE OF THE ARTIST.  IT LOOKS LIKE A DELIBERATE MARK UNLIKE THE OTHER MARKS ON THE SCULPTURE WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN MADE BY ROUGH HANDLING AND THE LIKE.

SIZE 20CM TALL.
