These very high quality well carved African tribal stone portrait busts depict a Zulu chief and two high ranking Zulu tribe’s people.

These highly decorative figures are constructed from several different sections of brightly coloured verdite or soapstone, which is native to parts of Africa. It is a relatively soft stone which can be cut and carved.

These small well detailed portrait busts were locally produced, circa 1930. They were made as mementoes to be offered for sale to wealthy travellers enjoying the African safari and exploring the local culture.

This eye catching garniture of busts displays nicely together. Two of the figures are signed on the reverse, and all three pieces are in excellent condition with no repair or restoration.

Please let us know if you need any further information and photographs.

African, circa 1930
