Preserving Zimbabwe's Stone Carving Tradition
Zimbabwe's centuries-old stone carving tradition showcases remarkable craftsmanship and artistic expression. Over recent decades, this craft has evolved to create captivating animal figures and other items for the tourism market. However, economic challenges and lack of skill transfer have made it difficult for younger generations to value stone carving as a sustainable craft.
At Toprock, we are committed to reviving this heritage by fostering a market for Zimbabwe’s hand-carved stone artworks. Each piece is carefully crafted and polished by hand, celebrating the unique imperfections and artistry that digital precision lacks.
We offer a diverse range of hand-carved items, including:
- Animal figures
- Pumpkins and Mushrooms
- Dinosaurs
- Functional ashtrays and dishes
- Regional oddities
These pieces are crafted from materials such as Lepidolite, Verdite, Leopard Stone, Butter Jade, Black Soapstone, Wonder Stone, White Granite, and Black Serpentine.
By supporting Zimbabwean artisans, you help keep this rich tradition alive and thriving. Thank you for being part of this mission!
