Ostrich egg carving  View large image |
An Ostrich is about the size of a cantaloupe. They are so hard so much that the baby’s head cannot break the through the shell on its own. They are so thick that three-dimensional details can be carved into the shell producing decorative and attractive effects. |

White Rhino |
The Rhinoceros is not a particularly friendly animal and that’s that. Most of the stone carvings depict the solitary animal, which is how they are seen in the bush. Rhinos will occasionally be seen in pairs and these are generally young males who appear to “lerate” one another. There is presently no great concern about the diminution of the species-at least since the taking of Rhino horns for medical and other use has been controlled in most Southern Africa. |

For years we were told that Shona, Ndebele and other African art carvers were not partial to cats in general. Cats in their natural state tends to feed on cattle and other domestic animals as these are easier to hunt than Zebras and other animals native to the bush veldt in Southern Africa. The ……. Among the artists has changed and we are now seeing some very attractive renderings of lions and leopards.  |

Hippopotamus is an animal that spends a great deal of time lolling around rivers and other bodies of water. The soft round shape of the Hippo and the fact that they are seen to spend their time lying down make them a natural for carving out of the softer Rapoko stone in their favorite supine position. We have Serpentine and Verdite pieces. |
