Midnight Venus - Stone Sculpture Made of Springstone by Christopher Tigere | Zimbabwe

A mesmerizing celebration of the female form, Midnight Venus is a captivating hand-carved stone sculpture by renowned Zimbabwean artist Christopher Tigere. Standing 50cm tall, this exquisite piece features a voluptuous female torso carved from premium Springstone, expertly balancing raw stone texture with a sleek, mirror-like black polished finish.

Springstone is a highly prized, exceptionally hard variety of serpentine found in Zimbabwe. Celebrated by master Shona sculptors for its high iron content and uniform, dense structure, this durable stone provides the ideal structural integrity for crisp, deep chiselling. It allows the artist to manipulate heavy contours into incredibly fluid, fine curves that remain pristine over generations.
