Mhondoro Sculptures for harnessing the magic of folk art

There’s something so magical and heart-warming about things that are carved by hand and I am definitely moved by the craftsmanship of these hand-carved Mhondoro Sculptures. Lovingly crafted by local artisans in Zimbabwe, Africa, each of these pieces is unique, and some are even signed on the bottom by the artist. These sculptures are truly works of magical folk art. Carved from granite, they are skillfully and emotively rendered, and each one emits the love and care of the artist. Truly enchanting! The deeper magic of these Mhondoro Sculptures Mhondoro refers to a tribal spirit or essence that originates from the first chief or founder of the tribe. Once the leader transitions, his/her spirit takes care of the region, the people, its crops, and brings rain that will nourish the soil. The Shona tribes of Zimbabwe, literally translated as “the house of stone”, are considered by many to be among the world’s finest sculptors. Modern Shona artisans select and quarry their own stones, just as they did thousands of years ago. Statues are hand-carved using simple chisels, polished with sand and beeswax, and heated on a fire to bring out their brilliant colors. Adorn your sacred space with these hand-carved Mhondoro Sculptures to brighten your room and to amplify harmony, peace, and positive vibrations. These sculptures have traveled all the way from Africa to bring you art, love, and joy.
