Having a Good Time by Taurai Maisiri is a unique Springstone sculpture measuring 38cm high, 90cm wide, and 26cm deep. This playful and expressive piece captures a tender moment between two rhinos. An adult and a smaller, younger rhino walking together in harmony. The adult strides steadily forward, while the younger rhino climbs onto a small tree stump, adding a dynamic sense of movement and interaction.

Carved from richly textured Springstone, the sculpture showcases the smooth, dark polish. The balance between refined surfaces and raw textures highlights Maisiri’s skill in bringing stone to life while preserving its natural beauty.

The composition speaks to themes of companionship, care, and curiosity. The smaller rhino’s playful gesture and elevated stance suggest youthful energy. With the presence of the larger figure conveys protection and guidance. The title, Having a Good Time, reinforces the sense of joy and bonding between the two animals.

Maisiri’s Shona sculptural roots shine through in the work’s simplicity and strength. Every line and curve feels intentional, giving life to the stone without overcomplicating the form. The sculpture radiates warmth, charm, and a timeless celebration of nature and family.
