Chapunga Sculpture is from Zimbabwe. Many of the artists are from the Shona Tribe. Zimbabwe stone sculpture made it’s first appearance around 1956. The sculpture art is the artists personnel interaction with the life around them. Most viewers find the art very expressive and emotional. Zimbabwe has the nick name “The House of Stone”.
