Quail Chicks by A. Chitiyo, Stone, Unique, 7cm high by 12cm wide by 14.5cm deep, Animals and Birds sculpture

This piece is a unique stone sculpture by Zimbabwean artist A. Chitiyo. Carved from springstone, it depicts three grey quail chicks huddled together in a sitting position. The piece captures the gentle charm and warmth of these young birds.

The sculpture emphasizes form and texture. Smooth surfaces highlight the chicks’ rounded shapes, while subtle stone variations add depth and character. Its compact size (7 cm high × 12 cm wide × 14.5 cm deep) makes it ideal for display on shelves, desks, or small gallery spaces.

Chitiyo’s work reflects a careful observation of animals in nature. The huddled pose conveys intimacy, connection, and a sense of safety among the chicks. The natural grey tones of the springstone enhance the realistic yet abstract quality of the sculpture.

This piece is perfect for collectors of animal sculptures, bird sculptures, Shona stone art, or unique springstone artworks. Its small scale, expressive form, and fine detailing make it a charming addition to any collection or interior display.
