Delivery Information

This African sculpture serves as a striking centerpiece for any room.

Standing at 25 inches tall and crafted from deep black stone, likely basalt, this piece features the torso of a nude black woman. The smooth, polished surface emphasizes the organic curves and simplified anatomical forms, celebrating cultural heritage through its primitive design. Set on a contrasting 36-inch white pedestal, the sculpture's silhouette and expressive details draw the eye, making it a conversation starter in modern or traditional settings.

Ronnie Dongo was born in 1967 in Zimbabwe.

Dongo grew up in a family of prominent sculptors; his mother, Locardia Ndandarika, and stepfather, Joseph Ndandarika, were both leading artists in Zimbabwe.

Despite relocating, he maintains a strong connection to Zimbabwe, regularly returning to source stone directly from the mines for his work.

Materials
Dongo works primarily in stone, carefully selecting his materials in Zimbabwe and shipping them to the UK to ensure quality and suitability for his sculptures.
