Pelican Bird Sculpture – Earthtone Serpentine Stone Hand-Carved in Zimbabwe

This Pelican Bird Sculpture is a striking example of traditional Shona stone sculpture, hand-carved by skilled artisans in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa. Crafted from natural earthtone serpentine stone, the pelican is sculpted standing on a solid base, gazing upward—symbolizing patience, protection, and abundance.

Shona stone carving is an ancient African art form practiced for nearly a thousand years. While rooted in tradition, today’s sculptures blend heritage with contemporary elegance, making each piece a meaningful work of African art. Due to the handmade nature of this sculpture, no two pieces are exactly alike, and natural variations in stone color and texture add to its authenticity.

Ethically and sustainably handcrafted, this pelican sculpture is ideal for collectors of African art, nature-inspired décor, or anyone seeking a unique handmade statement piece.
