A powerful homage to tradition and resilience, Shona sculpture – Water Bearer by Gregory Mutasa embodies the timeless role of women as nurturers and life-givers. This striking Shona sculpture captures a poised figure gracefully carrying a water vessel, evoking both strength and humility. The elegant posture, fluid lines, and meticulous detailing reflect the daily ritual of water collection—a task woven deeply into the fabric of African life.
