National bird of Zimbabwe - bateleur eagle - orange newest bird sculpture - from Africa

This orange carved bateleur eagle is the national bird of Zimbabwe newest. Made by a shona artist in Zim, Africa.

Shona sculpture is the name given to a modern movement of stone carved sculpture created in Zimbabwe. It gets its name from the ‘Shona' tribe of people (actually a mixture of many similar tribes with closely related language and culture) who are the largest in Zimbabwe. The country itself gets its name thanks to the Shona people's long artisanal tradition of stone working, meaning “house of stone”.
