Birthing by Bernard Takawira

A powerful piece depicting a woman giving birth and the look of shock she’s in with such a big baby!

A rare early piece by the late and infamous First Generation artist Bernard Takawira.

Some scratches, dings and knocks which is usual for such an old collectors piece. Dating back to the late 50’s.

For centuries, botanical gardens around the world have featured sculpture throughout their grounds… Now, the (Naples Botanical) Garden is capitalizing on its “Gardens of Latitude” tagline to present more than 200 stone sculptures from Zimbabwe, which rests in the same 26 degrees north and 26 degrees south band around the equator that is the Garden’s focus.

Brian Holley, Executive Director at the Garden, says “I think just providing the opportunity for people to see the quality of sculpture that is being produced in Zimbabwe will be a surprise to most people,” he says. “But even more important will be the way that the sculptures enhance the experience of visiting the garden.”
