Strong Family, Springstone, by Godfrey Kurari 50cm high, 87cm wide, and 28cm deep (Unique)
Strong Family by Godfrey Kurari is a bold and heartfelt Shona stone sculpture, carved from richly textured Springstone. The artwork shows a tightly bonded elephant family, full of emotion and symbolism. It celebrates themes of unity, strength, love, and protection.
Each elephant is clearly defined, yet they flow together as one. Their trunks and bodies connect in a seamless rhythm, symbolizing the unbreakable bonds of family. Kurari’s carving brings warmth and character to the piece. The natural sheen of the stone highlights fine details, especially in the faces, ears, and trunks.
This sculpture is part of the Shona tradition of Zimbabwe, known for its spiritual and expressive stone work. Kurari honours that tradition while adding his own artistic voice. His elephants feel alive, grounded in nature yet full of deeper meaning.
Strong Family is not just decorative, it tells a story. It speaks to the beauty of family, the power of connection, and the strength that comes from togetherness. It makes a striking centrepiece and a meaningful addition to any collection of African or stone art.
