A primarily self-taught artist, Mopho creates carvings of Africa’s wild animals in the unique medium of leadwood. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Mopho Gonde is now hailed as the finest wildlife sculptor in southern Africa utilizing leadwood. “The greatest thing about leadwood is that the hardwood trees need not be destroyed. This medium comes from dead trees, once pushed over by great elephants, which have laid in the African sun and rain for years and have almost become petrified”. This awesome leadwood sculpture is designed to be hung on the wall. A must have for any elephant collector. Comes with appraisal for $2,900.00 from 2009. Measures approximately 17 1/2" wide (from ear to ear) x 15" deep (wall plaque to trunk) x 13" tall (wall plaque height).
