StoneDescription
This piece symbolizes the act of seeking refuge within the spiritual and physical realms. The figures, huddled together, represent the strength and comfort found in unity, while the rough-hewn stone base reflects the grounding force of nature and tradition. In Shona spirituality, togetherness is a powerful bond, often believed to be protected by the ancestors. This carving captures the quiet, yet profound, act of finding shelter in one another, wrapped not just in the folds of the physical world but in the embrace of ancestral spirits who guard and guide.
The work emphasizes the Shona belief in community and ancestral protection, reminding us of the strength found in togetherness, both in life and the spiritual journey.Try it!
