Shona artisans
The Shona tribe of Zimbabwe, literally translated as "the house of stone," are considered by many to be among the world's finest sculptors.
Modern Shona artisans select and quarry their own stones, just as their ancestors did thousands of years ago. Statues are hand-carved using simple chisels, polished with sand and beeswax, and heated on a fire to bring out their brilliant colors. See all creations.

I love things like this and wouldn't mind spending the money if the size is bigger then the ones you currently carry. Also what about families of two or one adult and two children.

Very lovely, but how big is it? The Value is dependent on the size.

I have one of these sculptures, a fertility one. It's well carved of high quality materials.

Thanks for the feedback ya'll! The sculpture measures approx. 10" H x 4" W x 2" D, so it's great for a desk, coffee table or shelf.

I think the design is beautiful- the simple form makes it a great piece. I also wish I knew what the scale was for size

Don't waste your time. It's been done many times and cheaper. Definitely doesn't fit the name "Uncommon Good".

Beautiful sculpture, but it's not uncommon. I've seen these in all kinds of stores.

Just don't like it at all. Too pricey!
Cheryl

Not "uncommon" and again, price is too high b/c of a name!
Heather
Vote: Thumbs up!
I like it, but like so many others have stated, this isn't very uncommon at all. Also, I agree with the complaint that no dimensions were given, and this does sseem a bit high priced.
Jess

Ive seen this multiple times other places and for much cheaper. I am almost positive I've seen this at my local Hallmark for $25 or so. I would definately own this, its beautiful, but not through this store as it is way to expensive!
