CALL OF AFRICA:  Greater One  - Original Leadwood Kudu Sculpture by Zimbabwean Artist Bekezela Gonde
"Greater One" - Highly detailed original leadwood kudu sculpture by accomplished Zimbabwean artist Bekezela Gonde, measures 25"x25"x13". Leadwood is aptly named because of its extreme density, so much so that it was used by Africans as their cutting medium before metal was discovered. Like his father before him, also a Master Carver, Gonde only chooses the wood of fallen leadwood trees that lay in the bushveld in a somewhat petrified state. This way the wood has taken a natural curing process which diminishes the chances of too much movement during the sculpting process. The artist starts the process using a chainsaw, then works with a hammer & steel chisels and finishes the fine details with a dremel tool, making each sculpture a true one-of-a-kind work of art.
