About The Elder
The Elder is a one-of-a-kind fruit serpentine sculpture hand-carved by Bronson Gengezha, one of the Zimbabwean sculptors represented by ZimCarving. It measures 14 × 7.5 × 30 cm and weighs 3.6 kg.
Fruit serpentine is a variety of serpentine loved for its mix of natural colours, so the stone itself becomes part of the design. 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.
