Stone statue love couple black 18 cm

This stone sculpture of two people was made from one piece of natural stone. The soapstone used for this sculpture is a relatively easy stone to carve for the artists in Zimbabwe. The soapstone statue of two people is used to emphasise the relationship between two people, this can be a love affair, but also a business or working relationship. When you order, you will receive this unique specimen and each sculpture is a quality gem.
 

The sculptures are made of natural stone with the utmost care.
The smaller sculptures are made of soapstone; this stone is not suitable for outdoor use. The larger sculptures are usually made of opalstone, springstone, cobaltstone or fruit serpentine. This is a harder stone and suitable for outdoor use.
The stone may contain irregularities such as veins and lines. These irregularities give the sculpture extra charm and a unique character. 

The stone is worked in various stages with a hammer and chisel, rasp and file. Once the rough shape has been created, the stone is polished with waterproof sandpaper until it is completely smooth. After polishing, the sculpture is heated and a layer of wax is applied. When the sculpture has cooled down again, it is polished and gets its full colour and shine. The sculpture is ready.
