Typical of Joseph’s work, with the large eyes, facial contours and round heads. The stone is a beautiful reddish colour, similar to the fertile rich soil in Zimbabwe. The sculpture is beautiful from every angle and should be displayed in a central location to maximise visual impact.
The sculpture is unsigned but comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity from the Vhukutiwa Gallery in Harare, Zimbabwe, which has strong links with the early days of the movement from the 1960’s and Frank McEwan.
