Ant Eater by Joram Mariga

ZimSculpt are selling this sculpture on behalf of Maud Mariga, the late Joram Mariga’s wife. We can confirm this is an original Joram sculpture as it has been on display at Maud and Joram’s House for years. There are further pictures of this sculpture available, including pictures of Maud with it. ZimSculpt will not take any commission for this sculpture, in respect for the late Joram Mariga.

The Zimbabwean sculptures, tucked along the garden’s paths, are beautiful in their simplicity, carved from a single stone that reveals its form as artists without a plan make their first cuts. Sculptors such as Passmore Mupindiko and Patrick Sephani, who will demonstrate their talents through the Dow Gardens run, tap into a fusion of their country’s cultural legacy and contemporary environment.

When Passmore Mupindiko’s grandfather taught him how to sculpt, an art that once captured the images of Zimbabwe’s tribal chiefs so that new generations would know what great men they were, the 7-year-old couldn’t imagine where his art would lead him.
