Item Description
Giraffes hand carved in Verdite by Zimbabwean Sculptor James Tandi.
Each sculpture begins with James visiting the verdite mine where he selects his own stone (semi precious stone from Zimbabwe). Unlike marble, which can be cut to accommodate the subject of the sculpture, verdite comes from the mine in a variety of shapes which will invariably dictate what will be created. James refers to this process as “revealing the spirit which is within the stone”. After painstakingly removing layer upon layer of stone and carving each minute detail, the sculpture is wet-sanded and fired to a high temperature before applying stone wax. Each piece is then hand polished to a beautiful luster.
This piece is absolutely stunning and the detail equisit. This statue will definately be the focal point in any room.
