Welcome to our gallery, where we proudly introduce 'Masquerade' by John Chewa – a breathtaking contemporary stone sculpture perfect for both garden and home settings. Hand-carved in Tengenenge, Guruve, the birthplace of Shona sculpture, this piece is exceptional in its artistry and detail.
Crafted from Leopard stone, 'Masquerade' showcases unique patterns that cannot be replicated, making each sculpture truly one-of-a-kind. The translucent quality of the Serpentine stone reveals intricate mineral inclusions, adding to its allure. The rich greens and browns, offers a dual perspective, allowing the sculpture to be admired from all angles.

'Masquerade' exemplifies the unparalleled craftsmanship of Shona artists. Using a diamond-tipped chisel, the artist meticulously carves the stone, followed by hours of sanding through varying degrees of sandpaper until the surface is impeccably smooth. The sculpture is then heated, polished, and buffed, resulting in a wonderfully tactile finish, almost irresistible to touch.
