About Night Sentinel
Night Sentinel is a one-of-a-kind serpentine sculpture hand-carved by Thomas Makore, one of the Zimbabwean sculptors represented by ZimCarving. It measures 15 × 5 × 34 cm and weighs 3.6 kg.
Serpentine is the classic stone of Zimbabwean sculpture. Its colour and veining change from block to block, so the finished surface is different in every piece. 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.
