  • 'Cobalt Bird' original signed Shona stone sculpture by Wonder Mazhindu Bumhira
    By Wonder Mazhindu Bumhira
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    'Cobalt Bird' is an original signed sculpture by the Zimbabwean artist Wonder Mazhindu Bumhira. Trained in the Shona carving tradition, Mazhindu often sculpts abstracted birds, as in this example. This sculpture is playfully interactive: Even though the bird has one body, there is a head carved on each side, asking the viewer to walk around to see it peeking back at them. At the same time as he is considering the viewer's interaction with the artwork, the sculptor is likewise displaying his skills as a sculptor. Cobalt stone is notoriously brittle, as well as rare, making it difficult to work with and to acquire. The efforts are however rewarding, as the polished stone reveals dramatic patterns of greens and blacks. cobalt stone 17 x 12 x 5.5 inches 50 lbs signed 'Wonder M.' along base Overall good condition with no losses, cracks or signs of wear. Born on January 17th, 1982 in East Mashonaland, Harare, Wonder (often spelled Wander) is the fifth born of a family of 6...
