About Guinea Fowl
Guinea Fowl is a one-of-a-kind cobalt sculpture hand-carved by Passmore Mupindiko, one of the Zimbabwean sculptors represented by ZimCarving. It measures 20 × 5 × 47 cm and weighs 3.8 kg.
Cobalt stone is a Zimbabwean carving stone valued for its rich natural colour, which deepens once the surface is polished and waxed. Like every piece in our collection, this sculpture was shaped with chisels, rasps and files, then sanded, heated and waxed by hand, so no two sculptures are ever the same.
