'Zimbabwe' means "great stone house". It is fitting that stone sculpture is the art that most represents the people of Zimbabwe.  It is also referred to as 'Shona Sculpture'.

ZimScuplt is in constant communication with artists and thus privy to the latest cutting edge sculpture being produced in Zimbabwe today.
