Depth: 0.24-0.59 (6-15mm)
Description
The set includes a bodice, an Egyptian ankh, and two abstract faces.
This set of four assorted pendants is hand-carved from lepidolite, a natural stone known for its soft lavender and purple tones, often naturally mixed with white quartz. The marbled combination of purple, lavender, and white creates distinctive natural patterns, making each pendant unique.
Each pendant was hand-carved by Zimbabwean artist Lawrence Mzimba, known for his expressive stone carving and work with a variety of natural materials. His carvings range from abstract and figurative forms to animals and wearable pieces such as stone and cow bone pendants.
Lawrence Mzimba was born in 1965 in Harare, Zimbabwe, and has worked as a full-time stone carver since 1994. His work reflects the natural beauty of Zimbabwean stone while highlighting the individual character of each material.
These pendants are offered as a set of four assorted pieces, with each varying slightly in shape, coloration, pattern, and carving. No two are exactly alike.
You are receiving all four pendants.
Lepidolite is a relatively soft natural stone and may be susceptible to scratches or surface wear. Handle with care.
