Shona Art Sculptures:  The name Shona came to use during the colonial era and is used to represent a vast group of people who do not belong to a single ethnic origin, but many ethnicities. Although the Shona do not share a singular ethnic history, they share similar languages. Among the Shona today are the descendants of the builders of Great Zimbabwe. Shona sculptures demonstrate the unity between our two worlds, the physical and the spiritual. These incredible stone carvers, a people who have been at their craft for more than 2,000 years, hold firm to the belief that every stone and everything has a life spirit. It is that “life spirit” that influences what sculpture that stone will become. Many of these artists believe that it is their job to “release the spirit from the stone.” African Import Art has all been purchased using fair trade practices to support the talented artists of Zimbabwe, Kenya, and South Africa.  In addition,  African Import Art donates a portion of its proceeds to help fund education and fight poverty in Africa. What Mom wouldn’t love a hand-crafted and unique piece of sculpture?  Prices start at $30; www.africanimportart.com
